In what ways does language function as a tool in cognition? Be specific here, and try to develop a clear thesis about the way/s in which language serves tool-like functions (i.e., how does this all work). (e.g., if you discuss how language is a tool for memory, try to explain how and why it is able to serve this function, and perhaps when it is the wrong tool for the job).
