ABSTRACT
The relationship between language and thought is one of the most fascinating and complex issues within psychology and has been debated by philosophers for over 2000 years. Our thinking often takes the form of imagery, and our thoughts and feelings are often expressed unconsciously through gestures and facial expressions. Artists ‘think’ nonlinguistically. Knowing what we want to say but being unable to ‘put it into words’ is one of several examples of thought taking place without language.1
