本文首先对传统的有关语言和思维关系的三种观点作了总结和比较,然后从生物语言学的角度出发,对语言的定义、语言的特性、语言的用途、语言的进化等做出说明,分析语言和思维在人类史上的出现,指出语言是为了思维而产生的,思维先于语言,而语言的出现又促进了思维的发展,两者相互促进,共同发展。语言是思维的工具之一,语言是为了思维而产生,不是为了交流而产生,语言的主要作用是用来思维,交流只是语言的次要作用,是思维外在化的体现。语言是交流的工具,但不是唯一的工具。
This paper first summarizes and compares the three traditional views on language and thinking, and then from the perspective of biological linguistics, the definition of language, the characteristics of language, the use of language and the evolution of language are described. Analyze the emergence of language and thinking in human history, point out that language is produced for thinking, thinking precedes language, and the appearance of language promotes the development of thinking. Both of them promote each other and develop together. Language is one of the tools of thinking. Language is produced for thinking, not for communication. The main function of language is to use thinking and communication is only the secondary function of language, which is the manifestation of the externalization of thinking. Language is a communication tool, but not the only one.
