Abstract

This paper is a critical account of Antoni Gomila's book Verbal Minds (2012). Verbal Minds offers a complete exploration of contemporary theories about the cognitive role of language and the empirical evidence that refutes or supports them. The book has a descriptive and an evaluative element. In the descriptive element, Gomila successfully covers an extensive amount of ground, and the book makes a valuable contribution to research on language and thought. In the more debatable, evaluative element, Gomila argues that language plays a fundamental role in our cognition, to the extent that even the very propositionality of thought would be a linguistic inheritance.
