Karl, I agree with you, except in disagreeing with myself! This was moreI make a distinction between language structure and language usage. It
or less the point I was trying to make. But since you admit that
"available vocabulary (which includes idiomatic phrases)
influences ... how people think", I don't see how you can insist that
"thought bears NO direct relationship to language". However, we entirely
agree that language does not predetermine how people think.
