| Citazioni | A [...] fruitful source of the illusive feeling that language may be dispensed with in thought is the common failure to realize that language is not identical with its auditory symbolism. The auditory symbolism may be replaced [...] by a motor or by a visual symbolism [...] or by still other [...] types of transfer [...]. Hence the contention that one thinks without language merely because he is not aware of a coexisting auditory imagery is very far indeed from being a valid one. |
