Because before we had words and language we had sounds, facial inflection, and body gestures to signify our needs. This core meaning still resides in the mind/body spectrum and forms a more fundamental basis of communications, even though we have learned to use spoken and written language since then. For example, the twinkle of an eye can convey a message at the subliminal level and imply more than words can describe.
