What is the role/process of language in this regard; is symbols refer for the external appearance or any other verbal communication? Indeed, the paper also focuses on the process of cognition. Cognition is considered to be the process of predicting external appearance that has no measly understanding. Language-cognition relationship occurs with the progression of mind and these neurons will create an image of the external world (social world) through the medium of language.
