It is argued that they exhibit a difference between the speaker’s assuming his/her own vs. another’s point of view. It is suggested that the allocentric language structures are essentially homorganic to the allocentric point of view demonstrated by the behavior of  mirror neurons. Following a brief report on a neuropsychological study of certain English Empathy expressions that show a correlation between linguistic empathy violations and low Empathy Quotient, the importance of exploring new methods of linguistic analysis is suggested.
