Abstract
The author of this paper is one of the leading young investigators from the Luria school of neurolinguistics. She has studied and conducted extensive research both with Luria and with A. A. Leont'ev, a major figure in Soviet psycholinguistics. Her analysis of inner speech as a mechanism in speech production reveals the strong influence that L. S. Vygotsky has had on Soviet psychology. Although investigators such as Luria and A. A. Leont'ev have made independent contributions to the study of inner speech, the principal ideas about its role in speech production were introduced by Vygotsky in the 1930s.
