[Abstract] This paper presents a careful analysis of the relations between thought and language, which provides the precondition for the exploration in the rest chapters. There have been many arguments for the exploration between thought and language. Among them is the famous Spair-Whorf hypothesis, which proposes linguistic determinism and linguistic relativity. From this hypothesis we deduce that since every language has a form and no two forms are the same, no two cultures having different languages can have identical views of the world. Chapter Two of this thesis makes a parative study of the thinking styles of the Chinese and English in four aspects: figurative thinking vs. abstract thinking, prehensive thinking vs. analytical thinking, subject-centered thinking vs. object-centered thinking as well as straight thinking vs. converse thinking. Thought is the basis of l
anguage and language has to depend on thought for its content; at the same time, language provides the best instrument for the expression and munication of thought. The illustration of the relation between thought and language places us in a better position to clarify that language influences thought, particularly how English studying could influence Chinese’s thought.
【摘 要】 迄今为止，有许多关于思维和语言两者之间关系的争论，其中最著名的就是萨丕尔-沃尔夫假设，它提出了语言决定论和语言相对论的观点。从这个假设中，我们可以推导出，由于每种语言都有自己的形式，没有两种语言的形式是一模一样的，因此具有不同语言的不同文化对世界可能有不同的看法。不同民族的思维方式虽相似之处颇多，但又各具特点。因此，本文的第二局部着重从四个方面对汉、英两种语言所表达的逻辑思维进展了分析和比照，即:具象思维和抽象思维;综合思维和分析思维;主体思维和客体思维以及顺向思维和逆向思维。语言是表达和传播思维的最正确工具。思维作用于语言，语言也作用于思维。阐释过思维与语言的关系之后，我们能够更好的分析语言对思维的影响，特别是英语学习对的思维产生的影响。
There have been many arguments for the exploration between thought and language. Among them is the famous Spair-Whorf hypothesis[1], which proposes linguistic determinism and linguistic relativity. Put in an extreme form, this hypothesis follows that since every language has a form and no two forms are the same, no two cultures having different languages can have identical views of the world. Thought is the basis of language and language has to depend on thought for its content, at the same time, language provides the best instrument for the expression and munication of thought. The illustration of the relation between thought and language places us in a better position to clarify that language influences thought, particularly how English studying could influence Chinese’s thought, for Chinese people have been studying English for very a long time and almost every student in Chinese has to study it. Having learned the English for 10 years, the Chinese students maybe influenced by the language in thought. Here presents the hypothesis that English studying could influence Chinese people’s thought in some aspects. dietmp3
2.1 What is language?

Modern linguists have proposed various definitions of language, and some of them are quoted below:
“Language is a purely human and non-instinctive method of municating ideas, emotions and desires by means of voluntarily produced symbols.”(Sapir, 1921) [2]
戏弄巧心 Language is “the institution whereby humans municate and interact with each other by means of habitually used oral-auditory arbitrary symbols.”(Hall, 1968) [3]
“From now on I will consider language to be a set (finite or infinite) of sentences, each finite in length and constructed out of a finite set of elements.”(Chomsky, 1957) [4]
Each of these definitions has its own special emphasis, and is not a totally free from limitations. However, there are some important characteristics of human language linguists have agreed on; the most monly aepted definition of language is:

“Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human munication”.[5]

So language is a special tool for human beings to municate. It is possessed by human beings and allows people to say things to one another and to express thoughts and needs. In short, language is a unique system of munication and it is the cornerstone of society.

“Thought is a function of human brain, and is a cognitive activity for human to understand the objective world. Thought is a process that uses the conceptions, judgment and reasoning to reflect the objective world. Thought can process all kinds of information that enters the human’s brain, therefore we can reflect the nature of things and can solve problems when we think.” [6] “Thought is a power or process of thinking.”(Oxford Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese Dictionary,xx,P1588)
Thought is a process that information enters the brain and is analyzed, synthesized, judged and inferred on the basis of presentation and concept. After the spoken and written language e into being the information which enters the human’s brain es most fro
m language either by heard or by seen thus what we could think is mostly based on the two styles of language and sometimes led by what we are told. That is to say, without the information entering human’s brain there is no thought or thinking es into being.
2.3 The Relationship between Language and Thought
2.3.1 Humboldt’s Views
Whilhelm von Humblodt, a famous German diplomat and scholar, states the relationship between language and thought as the following views:
“The spiritual traits and the structure of the language of a people are so intimately blended that, given either of the two, one should be able to derive the other from it to the Language is the outward manifestation of the spirit of people; their language is their spirit, and their spirit is their language; it is difficult to imagine any two things more identical”.
