Joao, your message reminds me of how much even our native language is
foreign to us, not our own, and requires a constant pursuit for the
"correct significance," a constant struggle to infuse the word
(in Bakhtin's terms) with our own intentions--
How much more difficult across languages, I can barely imagine.

Yes, yes! I like your interpretation of egocentric speech as the
interioriazation of significance (the appropriation of word meanings
intimately linked to our "ideological becoming") -- that's what it's
all about (making language opaque and available for transformative
uses).
Thanks....
