Verbal Behavior: Extended Edition. Chapter 9: Multiple Causation. Quote 15

One of the uses of verbal art is to give added strength to responses which, if made for other reasons, would probably be punished. The behavior of a jilted maiden singing Lover, come back to me is on the one hand an extended mand and on the other an intraverbal sequence of responses acquired in learning the song. (p. 243)
