Introduction
The actuality of the course work
Traditionally it has been assumed that language is a conduit for thought, a system for converting our pre-existing ideas into a transmissible form (sounds, gestures, or written symbols) so that they can be passed into the minds of others equipped with the same language machinery. During the early and mid-20th century, however, several linguistic anthropologists, most notably Benjamin Whorf and Eric Sapir, proposed that language is not merely an interface but also plays a formative role in shaping thought itself. At its strongest, this view is that language “becomes” thought or becomes isomorphic to it
The aim of the course work
In this course work we consider the question of whether the language one speaks affects one’s thinking. We discuss arguments showing that language cannot be taken to be the vehicle of thought. We then review evidence from several domains in which language has been proposed to reorganize conceptual representations, including colour, objects and substances, space, motion, number, and spatial orientation. We conclude that linguistic representations have significant online processing effects in these and other cognitive and perceptual domains but do not alter conceptual representation. The purpose of the article is to show how thinking is associated with language and how thought is reflected in words, and how to analyse key points in this issue. Using a descriptive method, we tried to show the connections between language and thinking.
The practical value of the course work
Thinking is one of the important forms of consciousness activity. Therefore, it cannot be adequately described and understood outside the language. Thinking as a conscious process can be understood as communication. And communication is impossible without language. The topic is still controversial in modern linguistics, which determines the relevance of our study. Language is the main, decisive, but not always only means of communication. People invent and create certain forms of speech and linguistic expression. The article compares the logical and linguistic features of language and thinking. Thoughts addressed to speech and language are called linguistic thinking. Thoughts are embodied in words consciously. In words, our thoughts become meaningful. In human speech, comprehension, awareness, sensation as a process of linguistic thinking develops, affecting the new system of language. Understanding speech is usually divided into speech recognition and speech understanding. An understanding of the meaning of what was said and how it is expressed. The close connection between language and thinking can be justified by the fact that structural and conceptual meanings are closely related.
