We applaud Heintz & Scott-Phillips's guiding metaphor of "unleashing leashed expression," and we value the unified explanation for the emergence of not only language, but also other forms of unleashed expression, such as multimodal communication. We are more critical of the authors' discussion of the selection pressures acting towards unleashed expression, which are proposed to hinge on partner choice ecology.
我们赞赏海因茨和斯科特 - 菲利普斯提出的“释放受限表达”这一指导性隐喻，并且重视其对不仅语言，还包括其他形式的释放性表达（如多模态交流）出现的统一解释。我们对作者关于作用于释放性表达的选择压力的讨论更为挑剔，他们认为这种压力取决于伴侣选择生态学。
