Just a note on this assumption: The baby in the womb hears the mother's heart, breathing and other body sounds as well as her voice, and even the voices of others nearby. This is one way the newborn infant "recognizes" its mother, a mutual recognition upon which everything depends. And the rhythms of heartbeat, breath, motion, rest, and so on may give the context for "learning" everything. I think it is very difficult to say, then, where language begins. Ingrid M.
