The origins of linguistic behavior in our species lie not in introspection but in exclamation. Notice what happens when -events move your mouth without your intention to comply or interfere-. This is close to the source of language. For we were not, initially, ‘speaking of’ experience, but expressing its natures in sound. This was not a matter of abstraction and arrangement, but call and response.
