my previous message was directed at flotto but this is the point i wanted to mention to you:

you're mixing up two diverse hypotheses here.

sapir-whorf argue that language molds (and somehow precedes?) understanding.

chomsky et. al. do not-- aphasia does not imply agnosia. under this model understanding actually precedes language.
