There’s also some thinkers who say that thinking only ever happens through language, so talking could be more of a mapping of “thinking words” onto “communication words”.
Yeah I’ve always wondered what the mind would be like on someone that doesn’t know any languages. Would something like anxiety or rumimation even be possible for a person like that?
I disagree, though. I, for one, know that I “feel” or “visualize” a concept in my head and the words to define that idea comes after. I often talk really fast because my thoughts are going faster than words can form and I feel like I’m trying to catch up to them.
Your statement also suggests that animals that don’t have a “language” can’t think, which is an odd thing to believe imo…
