Thanks, it worked. And I found the notion of voluntary action fascinating, because I,too, am aware of making some choices of how to explore thoughts in the process of linguistic completion. That is why I find inner speech a meaningful concept, it is closer to condensed meaning than to realized speech.Let us give some thought to a CHAT symposium on multilingualism Vera

Dear Vera,
Sorry that my message was unreadable... maybe Columbia computers are on strike? Anyway, I attached the message as a file. Let me know if it is still unreadable.

I have on my table a violin string. It is free. I twist one end of
it and it responds. It is free. But it is not free to do what a
violin string is supposed to do - to produce music. So I take it,
fix it in my violin and tighten it until it is taut. Only then it
is free to be a violin string.
