Thinking through language
Mind and Language 16 (4):351–367 (2001)
| Abstract | What would it be like to have never learned English, but instead only to know Hopi, Mandarin Chinese, or American Sign Language? Would that change the way you think? Imagine entirely losing your language, as the result of stroke or trauma. You are aphasic, unable to speak or listen, read or write. What would your thoughts now be like? As the most extreme case, imagine having been raised without any language at all, as a wild child. What—if anything—would it be like to be such a person? Could you be smart; could you reminisce about the past, plan the future? | |||||||||
