From ZME Science: “Evelina Fedorenko, a neuroscientist at MIT’s McGovern Institute for Brain Research, this question has an easy answer thanks to her decade-long investigations: Language and thought are distinct entities, operating in separate parts of the brain.
“You need thinking to have language, but you don’t need language to think and reason.”
Yeah, … Well,… You can do some things in your brain without language. You can create art, for example. But you cannot reason without language. You can perform simple tasks without language. You cannot reason without language. You cannot learn higher level concepts without language and you cannot string concepts together without language because after some simple tasks, language is needed to reason, .. to think in higher order.
