IN THIS PAPER I WILL support the notions: (a) that some features of the verbalizations in analysis allow us to understand unconscious phantasies; (b) that these traits are valuable when we research psychoanalytic dialogue so as to transmit empirical data in scientific communications, and (c) that what I suggest in (a) has further consequences for effecting strategic, technical, and tactical approaches with which to break up Id resistances (compulsion to repeat).
a.The paralinguistic elements1 of adult verbalization have an earlier root than articulate language; they somehow resemble infantile ways of communicating inasmuch as they constitute a manner of codifying experiences that cannot as yet be put in verbal language. They provide support for the objectivization of the qualities of unconscious phantasies. One of the advantages of this approach lies in the fact that we can effect deductive inferences on empirical bases in the dialogue during the course of the analytic treatment. I shall, as I have written elsewhere (Liberman, 1962), (1966), (1971), introduce here some findings from different currents of contemporary linguistics which I consider to be useful
