I recommend that you listen to this episode of Radio Lab:
http://www.radiolab.org/story/91725-words/ I think you'll find it quite illuminating. Basically, it's about how language completely shapes our thought processes. I haven't listened to it in a while, but I found the evidence presented in it to be astounding, and quite convincing. A deaf, grown man without language is taught sign language. Afterwards, he can't remember what it was like to not have language.
