The Connection Of Language And Thinking

Abstract

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. 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.
