if we set language as a baseline then we overlook how the body

Why does that follow? If one has in mind spoken language, then voice is implicated. If one has in mind written language, then sight
is implicated. Comprehension of a statement intended to shock--"she looked around furtively as she bit out the baby's beating heart"--
would require an affective reaction (another example, the test for clones in Blade Runner).
