Exploring the relationship between thought and language, Peter Carruthers presents a compelling argument that much of human conscious thinking occurs through natural language sentences. He challenges the view that language is solely a communication tool, while maintaining a nativist and modularist framework. This work engages with philosophical, psychological, and linguistic perspectives, making it essential for anyone interested in understanding the role and importance of natural language in human cognition.
