Theory of Endolinguistics

A deep exploration of endolinguistic theory and its applications in the analysis of internal language.

Endolinguistics represents one of the most fascinating and least explored fields in the study of human language. This book arises from the need to provide a systematic and rigorous understanding of the principles that govern internal language — that intimate and personal dimension of our linguistic system that is rarely examined with the depth it deserves.

In recent years, we have witnessed a growing interest in understanding not only how we use language to communicate with others, but also how we employ our linguistic system internally. Endolinguistics deals precisely with this phenomenon: the study of linguistic processes that occur within the individual, regardless of their external communicative function.

This book aims to be both an accessible introduction for those approaching these concepts for the first time, and a reference resource for researchers and academics who wish to delve into the theoretical and methodological aspects of the discipline. The work is organized progressively, starting with conceptual foundations and advancing towards more specialized applications, and adopts an interdisciplinary approach that recognizes the connections between endolinguistics and fields such as cognitive psychology, neuroscience, philosophy of language, and applied linguistics.
