Chapter 6 talking about Language

I strongly agreed with what this chapter was saying about how not all language has to do with talking. On page 307 it says  some linguists claim that there is no thought without language, we think much of daily life moves along without the language of words. That is totally true! A lot of times when I am talking to friends, teachers, or peers I can totally see and tell there reactions by something as simple as a facial expression. If I am telling my roommate a story, often times she raises her eyebrows or opens her mouth real wide reacting to the story I am telling her and  I can tell her reaction without her even saying a word. While i observed my group Something Else I looked around the room at each of them and noticed that some of the students were slouched down which means they are bored or uninterested in the subject that is being talked about. While others were sitting up straight and smiling which led me to believe they were interested in the topic. Language isn't just word of mouth, it is your body language and facial expressions as well!
