Description
The ontogenesis of the relationship between language and thought represents a complex process, examined interdisciplinarity across pedagogy, psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience. Language and thought evolve dynamically in an interdependent relationship, marked by moments of convergence, overlap, or divergence throughout the child’s development. Studies show that certain ontogenetic stages reflect phylogenetic adaptations, evident both in the maturation of the phonatory apparatus and in the emergence of early cognitive mechanisms. Piaget considers thought to be primary, with language functioning as an instrument derived from intellectual development; Vygotsky, on the contrary, emphasizes the role of language as an essential mediator of thought, shaping higher cognitive processes through the internalization of social speech. Chomsky complements these perspectives by proposing an innate biological predisposition for language, supported by neuroscience, which highlights the early organization of the brain for linguistic acquisition. Overall, language and thought develop within a „genetic circle”, mutually influencing one another and evolving in a unified manner throughout childhood.
