I think there's it can't be denied that there is a strong link between cognition and language, since from introspection I feel that my thoughts are in language, and language certainly permits tremendous richness of expression of thought. Chomsky discusses these views here - I don't think this article repudiates them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH8SicnqSC4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH8SicnqSC4
I will agree with the author that, despite being not possessing language, animals are more intelligent and sensitive than frequently given credit.
- leephillips 10y ago"from introspection I feel that my thoughts are in language" Have you ever had the experience of having to stop in mid-sentence, stuck, because a word was "on the tip of your tongue"?
