you can know and think of what an object is without needing any words to describe it. words allow you to communicate what something is (to a certain extent) to sum one who dose not know what this thing is.

thay should have started by defining what that mean by language at the start of this as i am not enterly sure what thay mean by language, wehter thay are talking about the ornate language of objects ore a more common usage of the word ie words and general sounds to communicate with.

from wiki

Language is a term most commonly used to refer to so called "natural languages" — the forms of communication considered peculiar to humankind. In linguistics the term is extended to refer to the type of human thought process which creates and uses language. Essential to both meanings is the systematic creation and usage of systems of symbols —each referring to linguistic concepts with semantic or logical or otherwise expressive meanings.

so "8727" the thinking in words thing is not important as language just refers to the thought process , comunicatoin wether that be internal comunicatoin within your own brain of concepts you are aware of . ore wether that be the comunicatoin of those conspets in sounds, ore images.

also as i understand it some people supposedly think in words and others in visuals. I'm undecided as to what i believe.
