Language and Parol

Questions page 36.-

-Which come first: thought or language?
-Can we think without language?
-Is it possible the we think in images?

I think that though comes first because before speaking we have a thought that we transmitted with sounds. Also if we start thinking about it we realise that when they speak to us we start thinking in images and not words, for example when someone say "door" we imagine the image of a door, not the word itself. So in my opinion, we actually think and to express to the environment our needs and ideas, we use this tool call language, with differs according to each society.

Extract from a very interesting page about the theme :

Do we learn to think before we speak, or does language shape our thoughts? New experiments with five-month-olds favor the conclusion that thought comes first “Infants are born with a language-independent system for thinking about objects,” says Elizabeth Spelke
