Answer 1

Can you think without language? Answer: Nope, at least not at the level humans are accustomed to.

They think in Sign (or the local equivalent), assuming they were fortunate enough to have learned it in infancy. The hearing can have only a general idea what this is like--the gulf between spoken and visual language is far greater than that between, say, English and Russian.

Research suggests that the brain of a native deaf signer is organized differently from that of a hearing person. Still, sometimes we can get a glimpse. Sacks writes of a visit to the island of Martha's Vineyard, where hereditary deafness was endemic for more than 250 years and a community of signers, most of whom hear normally, still flourishes. He met a woman in her 90s who would sometimes slip into a reverie, her hands moving constantly. According to her daughter, she was thinking in Sign. "Even in sleep, I was further informed, the old lady might sketch fragmentary signs on the counterpane," Sacks writes. "She was dreaming in Sign."

Answer 2

Does every idea you have happen in words? I don't think so. Most of our thinking is done intuitively, without words. You translate it into words after the fact.

Thinking must be done via language, but not all language is verbal. We think via an intuitive language that happens on a preconscious level even before we formulate the words that we speak to ourselves in our heads. Deaf people can utilize that symbolic non-verbal language because we are all born with the ability to use it. Translating those symbols into words comes later.

Answer 3

An inner voice is basically that. you do not hear something once you examine even inspite of the shown fact that your "inner voice" vocalizes words for you. They "hear" not something the two. i will basically think of that the deaf have a changed inner voice. Speicifically how do they think of? basically like listening to persons "think of". A recommendations without sound continues to be a thinking recommendations. whether there have been no "inner voice" for a deaf individual. It concerns not. One would not require an "inner voice" to think of.
