Drawing on evidence from neurobiology, cognitive science and corpus linguistics, MIT researchers make the case that language is a tool for communication, not for thought.
That’s pretty easy to hypothesize. People generally don’t think in complete sentences, for example. Children raised without language, while often developmentally delayed, learn and exhibit plenty of thought process faster than they do language.
