👉 prehandling in linguistics refers to a process or action that occurs before a word is actually used in a sentence. It typically involves the use of a lexical item, such as a verb, adjective, noun, etc., which may not be immediately available in the context. In prehandling, the speaker might be using a preposition, a conjunction, or other words to indicate where they are referring to before they actually say something. For example: - "I'm going to buy some apples
