Peter,
Not sure you will be interested in but there was some empirical work  
on the issue of deaf people's use of private (egocentric) speech:
Jamieson, J.R. (1995). Visible thought: deaf children’s use of signed  
and spoken private speech. Sign Language Studies, 86. 63-79.
At the end of the nineties Elizabeth McCarthy finished her doctoral  
tesis on this issue too, at Stanford University, advised by Rafael Díaz.
Adam Winsler included some references in his review:
Winsler, A. (2009). Still Talking to Ourselves After All These Years:
A Review of Current Research on Private Speech. In A. Winsler, Ch.  
Fernyhough, & I. Montero (Eds.), Private speech, executive  
functioning, and the development of verbal self-regulation, (chp. 1).  
New York: Cambridge University Press.
My best,
NACHO.
