This chapter focuses on the use of the idea of mental discourse in Latin medieval philosophy from the late `eleventh to the mid-thirteenth century. A crucial passage from Anselm of Canterbury is first examined in some details. It is then shown how the idea occurred within a surprising variety of threefold distinctions in quite a number of authors. The notion that the object of grammar as a science is some sort of ‘language in the mind’ (sermo in mente) is also discussed. What comes out is that the Ancient philosophical tradition of the logos endiathetosand the Augustinian tradition of the verbum in mente are now being brought together in various ways and that an important Augustinian distinction between internal discourse properly speaking and the mental representation of spoken words and sentences has become commonly accepted.

Active in Paris during the third and fourth decades of the thirteenth century, when universities were emerging as centres of Western European intellectual life, William played a decisive role in the early development of high medieval philosophy. His writing reveals a familiarity with Aristotle, all of whose major works except the Metaphysics were readily available in Latin translation, and with the Islamic philosophers, most especially Avicenna but also Averroes, whose commentaries on Aristotle were just beginning to circulate. William looked back to the Neoplatonic traditions of the twelfth century, but he also looked ahead to the late-thirteenth-century Aristotelianizing that he and his contemporary, Robert Grosseteste, did so much to promote.
