The tongue that speaks, the mind that comprehends,
What subtle bond doth betwixt them lie!
From thought to word, a journey that transcends,
Through patterns woven 'neath the conscious eye.
We seek the truth of how our thoughts take flight,
From neuron's spark to language's design,
What structures deep give thoughts their voice and might,
What rules innate do human minds define.
The dance of language, thoughts in gentle sway,
To understand how minds their worlds unfold,
Through word and concept, meaning finds its way,
The foundational truths of thinking told.
So dedicate we are to this pursuit:
Where language meets with thought, absolute.
