I am always interested in words, I think that's because of my incapability for using them :) There is lots of theories on it. But none of them (as far as i know) answers my question on the subject. They all emphasis the connection between thinking and vocabulary in a cultural context. The connection I am trying to find out is whether our verbal capacity effects our thinking. Knowing a word and comprehending it or using it consciously is the same? I have difficulty in expressing the idea. I wanna give a simple example, I hope it will make it clear even a little bit. For example; I knew that I am a person usually acts without thinking results. "impulsiveness" is the word used for this event, but if you dont know the word. Even you are aware of the condition, you may have difficulty thinking on the subject, because you don't know the word.
Is vocabulary defines the limit of thought?
