Inner speech and agency

Norbert Wiley

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

There is a well known argument that thought is exercised through inner speech. In this paper I am adding the claim that action too is exercised through inner speech. We talk our thoughts, at least a lot of the time. But we also talk our goals, options, deliberations, plans and moves. We talk our way through our actions.
