Note 71 — V. THE LITTLE LINGUIST.
Reading edition
The concerted cries during co-operative work to which Noirée ascribes the origin of language-sounds would seem, while having a special physiological cause as concomitant and probably auxiliary motor processes, to be analogous at least to emotional cries, in so far as they spring out of a peculiar condition of feeling, that of effort. On the other hand, as concerted they came under the head of imitative movements. So far as I can learn the nursery supplies no analogies to these utterances.
