One might say “surely shrieking with pain is a good
exampl
e of involuntary speaking because here
¤ far from
there being an act of volition which worked the speaking || not only
there is no act of volition by which we speak
there even was one against it.
”
I should say: Certainly I too
would || should call this
involuntary speaking.
But the effort is also absent in most cases of voluntary
speaking.
And I agree that an act of volition preparatory to or
accompanying the spe
ech is absent if by ‘act of
volition’ you refer to certain acts of intention
,
premeditation or effort.
But then in many cases
of voluntary spe
ech I don't feel an
effort, many were not premeditated
& as to intentions sometimes the unintentional
action is characterized as such by an experience of surprise in others the
intentional is characterized by a spoken or imagined expression of
intention.
