Abstract

The article describes the formation of inner speech, its features and the functions it performs in speech activity. Inner speech is a special type of silent internal communication, and this article explores this phenomenon from psycholinguistic and philosophical perspectives. Different scientists have those different opinions about the properties of inner speech, some of which were given as examples in this article. Starting from school textbooks we have been through outer speech and its types deeply. Uzbek linguistics have conducted limited research on inner speech. But we have as yet only partially studied inner speech in monologue form. It is exactly the subject matter of inner speech that we sought to study from a strictly linguistic and psycholinguistic perspective. The reason is we when studying language and speech, must realize that these do not occur on their own in the body solely form movements of the articulatory organs, but it is mental states that ultimately are what enable them to appear.
