    • 1.For one to be both speaker and hearer, some differentiation between the two roles must obtain.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Without a hiatus or gap separating the speaker-role from the hearer-role, the subject could not function as a hearer at all.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The living present contains an internal difference due to the fold of retention.

    Reasons Against

    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Husserl's phenomenology of inner time-consciousness treats retention not as a hiatus but as a continuous living present that is self-identical in its flow.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If retention is an internal modification of the now rather than a gap, then self-address requires no structural split between speaker and hearer roles.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Derrida's reading projects a deconstructive hiatus onto Husserl's account rather than deriving it from the phenomenological evidence Husserl actually provides.

    ?
    • 1.Ryle's dispositional account of silent speech treats inner monologue as a functional episode, not a genuine communicative act requiring distinct sender and receiver roles.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If 'speaking to oneself' is not a real speech act but a disposition to behave linguistically, then positing a structural hearer is an illegitimate reification of a mere functional description.

    More specifically, Derrida argues that, when Husserl describes lived-experience (Erlebnis), even absolute subjectivity, he is speaking of an interior monologue, auto-affection as hearing-oneself-speak. According to Derrida, hearing-oneself-speak is, for Husserl, “an auto-affection of an absolutely unique type” (Voice and Phenomenon, p. 67).
