Edelman (1992: 125):
Higher-order consciousness obviously requires the continued operation of the structures serving primary consciousness. In addition, it involves the ability to construct a socially based selfhood, to model the world in terms of the past and the future, and to be directly aware. Without a symbolic memory, these abilities cannot develop.

From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic theory, the ability to construct a socially based selfhood is afforded by social semiotic systems, and begins in protolanguage, where a systemic distinction is made between the intersubjective and the objective.
