From the article: "If I ask you to think through a problem you don’t think in symbols, numbers, or any other representation. You think in words, and therefore your ability to think relies on your ability to deploy words. "

Or, if you like scientific papers better, see "Language and thought are not the same thing: evidence from neuroimaging and neurological patients"
