The words and grammar of any language encode a vast array of complex prepackaged concepts, most of them language-specific and culture-related. These concepts are manipulated routinely in almost every waking hour of most people's lives. They are largely acquired in infancy and they are intersubjectively shared among members of the speech community. It is hard to imagine such elaborate and variable representation systems not having a substantial role to play in ordinary cognition, and yet the language-and-thought question continues to be a contested one across the various disciplines and sub-disciplines of cognitive science. This article provides an overview from the vantage point of linguistic semantics.

任何语言的词汇和语法都蕴含着大量复杂的预制概念，其中大多数都是特定于语言和与文化相关的。这些概念在大多数人的日常生活中几乎无时无刻不在被运用。它们主要在婴儿期习得，并且在言语社区的成员之间被主观共享。很难想象这样复杂和多变的表示系统在普通认知中没有起到实质性的作用，但语言与思维的问题仍然是认知科学的各个学科和子学科中一个有争议的问题。本文从语言语义学的角度提供了一个概述。WIREs Cogni Sci 2011 2 125-135 DOI: 10.1002/wcs.101 如需本文相关资源，请访问 WIREs 网站。
