[xmca] On the relationship between language and emotion.

[Joseph Gilbert <joeg4us@roadrunner.com>]

Quite simply, the sounds that make up language are expressions of  
emotions and are emotionally evocative. The use of these vocal  
sounds, (sounds made by the body), to refer to things establishes a  
link between the emotions evoked by the sounds and the things  
referred to by the same sounds. In this way, we are informed  
subliminally of the affects on us and therefore of the meanings of  
whatever things we have names for.
