The seventh and last chapter of Vygotsky's Thinking and Speech (1934) is generally considered as his final word in psychology. It is a long chapter with a complex argumentative structure in which Vygotsky gives his view on the relationship between thinking and speech. Vygotsky's biographers have stated that the chapter was dictated in the final months of Vygotsky's life when his health was rapidly deteriorating. Although the chapter is famous, its structure has never been analyzed in any detail. In the present article we reveal its rhetorical structure and show how Vygotsky drew on many hitherto unrevealed sources to convince the reader of his viewpoint.
维果茨基的《思维与语言》（1934年）的第七章也是最后一章，通常被认为是他在心理学领域的定论。这是一章篇幅很长且论证结构复杂的内容，维果茨基在其中阐述了他对思维与语言关系的看法。维果茨基的传记作者称，这一章是在维果茨基生命的最后几个月口述完成的，当时他的健康状况正在迅速恶化。尽管这一章很有名，但它的结构从未得到过详细分析。在本文中，我们揭示了它的修辞结构，并展示了维果茨基如何利用许多此前未被揭示的资料来源来说服读者接受他的观点。
