Two main types of Preverbal elements exist: determinants and preverbs.
In fact, as Vivona suggests, we need to rethink the idea of any“Preverbal period.”.
Another possible explanation:
As we learn to speak, we can no longer access memories created in our Preverbal years.
Furthermore, even with Preverbal children, one keeps translating back to feelings
and putting the feelings to words for the child- i.e. labeling the feelings.
Over the course of evolution, women may have been selected for their ability to keep young Preverbal humans alive,
which involves deducing what an infant or child needs- warmth, food, discipline- without it being directly communicated.
