Our inner subjectivity without which language cannot even arise;

 Introspective psychologists have brought into the examination of pain, as well as into every other form of organic or kinesthetic sensation, using metaphorical descriptions without stint, and often with great aptness.

These inner experiences are part of a general subjectivity that form the background without which language cannot even arise; this background is a quasi-language of thought possessed to some degree by non-human animals.
