Can you think without language? Answer: Nope, at least not at the level humans are accustomed to. That's why deafness can have far more serious consequences than blindness, developmentally speaking.
Daniel Dennett argues that without language there is no consciousness, there is no self, and thus animals and baby are not conscious. Very interesting.

In this article Halliday, questions the approach of language acquisition (syntax)with construction/semantics. He highlights that language is learnt through meaningful interaction with other people and making sense of the world in which we live is achieved through language. They key goal of interaction/making meaning is functional and communicative.

Explains the Systemic Functional Linguistic theory that children's language development encompasses learning of, about and through language simultaneously in order to extend their meaning-making potential.
This paper discusses Halliday’s thoughts on three, natural components of language development; that of learning language, that of learning through language, and that of learning about language. Halliday discusses how language is a constant process, often complex, often instinctive, which begins before birth and continues throughout life. Demonstration of how language is constructed draws attention to the child not being a solitary individual, but one who is involved in interaction, and so becomes actively immersed with others. Establishment of how language is created from meaning, then transmitted between humans, emphasises this interactive process as a requirement for communicative success, and further draws upon the significance of context as a means of learning. Adapting language to various functions supports the building of reality and so allows transition from the use of language for doing, to the use of language for learning.
