... Because she hasn't learned to speak yet. I used a few narrative cheats - one of them being that Sarah and Cinderbelle could hear what Iris was "saying" because they were inside of her mind - but what I wanted to show was how a pre-verbal infant would perceive the world around her. She doesn't actually understand the meanings of words yet, but she can recognize the emotions behind them, which is why Daddy and Doggy make a lot of noises to say relatively simple things in her dream. She gets primary-colored emotions - happy, sad, love, upset - and basic motivations - help, protect - which she can hear in adults' speech, even though the individual words sound like "blah blah blah" to her. | |||||||
