Barbara Tversky has also explored the limitations of language and has actually suggested that spatial thinking is the foundation of all thinking. If you *think* about it we existed in space and interacted with the world around us before we formed language. Therefore, language is a reductive proposition about the world around us. I point at a hard roundish thing on the ground and say "rock" and you agree it is a "rock", but that hardly conveys the full meaning of the rock. It doesn't convey how the rock was formed, is it whole or a piece of a larger rock, how does it interact with you, me, or other rocks, and it restricts the inferences we can draw from the proposition. However, visual representations (ex diagrams) provide a platform for making inferences, checking for coherence, and completeness that a string of words (aka sentence) cannot.
