Problem of the language of thought is connected not only with different epistemological points of view on human mind and body, but also with the way we define either language or thinking (or communication). The communication is the essence of language - not vocabulary, syntax etc. Hence I prefer speaking of 'world-learning' (during our early cognitive and communica-tional processes) to 'language acquisition' or 'language learning'. In other words, the processes of perception are prior to any linguistic abilities and also fundamental to the structure of men-talese. The language of thought might be constructed of intentional forms whose (intentional) genesis is connected with our perceptual experiences.(original abstract)
