There is a theory that states "without language there would be no
thought". I don't subscribe entirely to this idea, but I do a lot of
my thinking in sentences. I also remember watching a do***entary on
feral children who were never socialized and could not speak. They had
black shadows in areas of the brain that normal people have active.
Basically they were brain dead because of a lack of language.
I love that Frank Herbert used italics to show the thoughts,
especially when the character did not act on what they were thinking,
or said something different than what they thought.
