I'm not sure whether "subvocalization" here means reading softly
aloud or minute, largely involuntary movements of the larnyx and the
muscles involved in speech. Either way, I've known writers - mostly,
but not entirely poets - who have developed an extremely strong
inner ear. So far as I can tell, their inner ears operate at about
the speed that they read.
