It may be possible that we form some kind of schematic auditory representation of the narrative voice - and sometimes the voices of characters depending on the representational techniques of the author - without sub-vocalizing. I wrote my master's thesis in part on this - what's really interesting is the step from representing the narrative to representing what the narrative narrates. If a narrative says, for example, when the main character in a novel narrates, "I had a cardboard suitcase that was falling apart.", do we represent the sounds of the words or do we represent the state of affairs represented by the words. If auditory representation is essential what does that imply about people who are deaf reading?
