  言葉が社会的な行動の中で果たす非常に重要な役割を理解するのは難しいこと
 である。言葉のない社会(がもしあるとすればそれ)はどの様なものだろうか。
 そこには無論、文字もないし、その他の言葉による伝達手段もない。と言うのは、
 そういったものは全て、結局は話し言葉に依存しているからである。従って、物
 事を学ぶ手段も非常に制限されることになる。そうなると、動物と同じように、
 他人の行動を真似してやってみたり観察して学ばざるを得なくなる。歴史などと
 いうものは全て消え去ってしまうだろう。なぜなら、言葉が存在しなければ、過
 去の経験を再生して誰かに伝えたり、人間同志で考え方を共有したりする方法は
 全くなくなってしまうだろうからである。実際のところ、考えるということを一
 切しなくなる可能性も強いのだ。考えるということ自体が言葉を使う必要のある
 こと、つまり、考えるという過程は、物事について自分自身とじっくり語り合う
 ことだと主張する心理学者も多いのである。
