does /lit/ subvocalize? Is it good or bad?

I like to purposely subvocalize the end of books. Makes it more dramatic.

Subvocalization is imperative in getting the most out of what you're reading and fully engrossing yourself in the context at hand. If you aren't giving a voice to the text on the page, then you're basically just scanning ink with your eyes, i.e. it's meaningless and you're wasting your time for pseud points.

some days i can picture things clearly in my head
some days i can't

anybody have any reading material for this phenomenon?

>> No.15382132

Yep, especially stuff written in 1st Peepee, (Moby Dick lookin at you) and cool monologues and dialogues between characters, each of which naturally develop their own voices.
I dont do any of it on purpose, and often I'm torn between "listening" to the monologue for the drama or it, or reading it faster because I want to see what happens next

Subvocalization is indeed good, specially if you're studying (even better to read it aloud).

I honestly can't imagine not doing it. I don't understand how to do it, or anyone else for that matter.

You can teach yourself to stop this by subvolalising "1, 2, 3, 4" while reading.

It's a retarded meme. Read how you read and don't overthink it because autists on 4channel told you otherwise.

I find I'm much more lucid and articulate when I have an active inner voice than when I don't. Thinking conceptually is akin to brain fog to me - I become a spaced out stuttering mess.

>>15383315
You look at the word and infer its meaning immediately and move on to the next word without stopping to articulate every syllable of its composition in your head because its image has already been represented to you prior to you pantomiming the sound. I don't know what the problem is.

I start off subvocalizing to get into the right mindset of reading. The first 5-15 minutes (depending on my mental state before starting) of when I start reading are always the most restless, easily being distracted, sometimes barely even reading a page. After that the reading happens automatically, organically, and here and there I will lose the flow and that's where going back to subvocalizing can help put me back on track. If the writing is heavy, this primarily concerning some non-fiction literature, with all its terms, names, dates, and so on, subvocalizing is almost necessary, because you'll be going back and forth between lines, between the footnotes and notes in the back of the book, looking up on your phone/computer, and so on. When you're truly enthralled in a book, your eyes swim across the lines and it all plays out in your mind's eye without a sliver of effort.

You will learn how to it by reading this book but you will also realize that it just feels better to subvocalize.
