Language

[Haipule]

Because it is impossible to think beyond your vocabulary; I would say that man could not, and did not invent language. It must have been given to him from the start. Any thoughts?

Please support your premise ' it is impossible to think beyond your vocabulary' with evidence and reasoned argument. Because as it is, I do not accept your premise.

As far as I can tell, your syllogism, as it is currently stated, is both invalid and unsound.

It looks pretty much like a classic example of 'argument from ignorance fallacy'.

Of course you proved everything right? You proved beyond a shadow of a draft beer, that I am "ignorant"! And who are you? The sum total of your own wine! And I thought I was cocky?

You asked me to evidence how man cannot think beyond his vocabulary? I give the world YOU as evidence! I know that I'm not very smart but, I just called you very stupid!

Because it is impossible to think beyond your vocabulary...

Post-modern nonsense. If that were true then people couldn't coin new words or invent whole new vocabularies in response to ideas, like for example, 'differentials' for calculus.

Not so! Just maybe, I mean maybe, you haven't heard of "evolution". Verbally, it's called etymology.
