Quotes
Social Identity and Performance
“When people speak, they do not just convey information; they project an image of themselves. Assessing speaking is, in many ways, assessing the social identity the speaker inhabits.” (p. 20)
Cognition and Fluency
“Fluency is not just about speed; it is a cognitive state where the speaker can manage the search for words and the planning of ideas simultaneously.” (p. 89)
