Are you talking about moving your lips while reading or "internal speech"?
Do you actually say the words or just hear them? I do "hear" the words spoken as I read, but only in my mind.
(DISCLAIMER: I'm an insanely fast reader)
Never tried that, I prefer to read the words in the order the author wrote 'em...I figure they put 'em that way for a reason.
I think deaf people still subvocalize. They associate the movement of their hand with the friction they learned when reading.
So if they sweep their entire palm over a text, somewhere in their brain they are interpreting it like it was successive lines of their finger tracing. So there is a natural order.
Well here's the thing I've begun to understand, that a writer does not write words, he writes ideas and points of which words are the building blocks, which do not, by themselves, convey any message.
I mean it's like trying to see a wall, brick by brick. It's easier to see the wall if you widen the focus a bit.
Shakespeare said:What a piece of work is man!
how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty!
in form and moving how express and admirable!
in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god!
the beauty of the world - the paragon of animals!
