Reviews
From the reviews:
"Inner Speech-L2 is a comprehensive, well-written, and in-depth treatment of the complex topic of inner speech and its relevance for the filed of second language acquisition (SLA) … . De Guerrero has provided the field with a solid and rich monograph on inner speech. Any researcher interested in the issue of thinking in an L2 and the complexities of the topic of language for thought and language of thought should read it." (Eduardo Negueruela, Modern Language Journal, Vol. 91 (4), 2007)
"The book pinpoints the features of second language (L2) inner speech and analyses the processes which trigger its development. … The book is addressed to scholars with a specific interest in sociocultural theory application, to researchers, educators, and students in the fields of L2 and Foreign Language (FL) learning, applied linguistics, language and cognition, and psycholinguistics. It might also be a useful resource book for those interested in gaining an understanding of the role played by inner speech in mediating language and thought." (Anna Franca Plastina, The Linguist List, February, 2008)
