The ability to entertain and reflect on possibilities is a crucial component of human reasoning. However, the origin of this reasoning-whether it is language-based or not-is highly debated. We contribute to this debate by investigating the relation between language and thought in the domain of possibility from a developmental perspective. Our investigation focuses on disjunctive syllogism, a specific type of possibility reasoning that has been explored extensively in the developmental literature and has clear linguistic correlates. Seeking links between conceptual and linguistic representations, we review evidence on how children reason by the disjunctive syllogism and how they acquire logical and modal language. We sketch a proposal for how language and thought interact during development. This article is part of the theme issue 'Thinking about possibilities: mechanisms, ontogeny, functions and phylogeny'.
娱乐和反思可能性的能力是人类推理的关键组成部分。然而，这种推理的起源——无论是基于语言与否——是高度争议的。我们通过从发展的角度研究可能性领域中语言和思维之间的关系，为这场辩论做出了贡献。我们的研究集中在析取三段论上，这是一种在发展文献中被广泛探索的特定类型的可能性推理，并且具有明确的语言相关性。为了寻找概念和语言表示之间的联系，我们回顾了关于儿童如何通过析取三段论进行推理以及他们如何获得逻辑和模态语言的证据。我们勾勒出了语言和思维在发展过程中相互作用的建议。本文是主题为“思考可能性：机制、个体发生、功能和系统发生”的一部分。
