Language influences thinking: words convey ideas, and different languages embody different ways of thinking. Although the linguistic relatively hypothesis suggested that language determines thought, it is more accurate to say that language influences thought. Studies of the effect of the generic pronoun he and the ability of vocabulary enrichment to enhance thinking reveal the influence of words.
Thinking without language: some ides, such as the ability to perceive and remember different colors, do not depend on language. We sometimes think in images rather than in words, and we invent new words or new combinations of old words to describe new ideas. So we might say that our thinking affects our language, which then affects our thoughts.
