My subjective experience of flow states[1] makes me believe this is true. In these states thinking feels much less discrete (which is something language seems to impose) and more continuous. Any programmer knows what this feels like when you get into a serious coding session. You get to the point where all the principles of programming fade from your attention and focus more on how information is being shaped by your program (learning Haskell brought this to a new level for me). There have been times where I couldn't even explain what I had done in words, which gives me further evidence that flow is related to breaking down this linguistic imposition.
