verbalizations
Words said aloud
Verbalizations are things expressed in words, especially spoken aloud.
The term often appears in clinical or academic contexts: a therapist notes a patient's verbalizations, or a study measures children's verbalizations during play.
The word emphasizes the act of putting thoughts into words rather than the content itself: His verbalizations were hesitant but eventually coherent.
