Is this the grammar that people use when they talk to themselves?
Abstract This commentary examines the claims of Wiltschko’s target article about the differences between I -centered and you -centered self-talk. Her paper represents an important exploration of the differential use of personal pronouns in self-talk. I include suggestions, questions, and examples that provide potential challenges to her interaction-based analysis of self-talk.
