Enjoyment mainly

As cognitive science makes its strides as a discipline, researchers will come closer and closer to the workings of the mind.  One area of particular interest to me is the relationship between thinking and speaking.  A number of articles and several books have been dedicated to the topic.  The question started in the 1920s with Vygotsky asking "Do we think in words or in thoughts that become words?"  His conclusion was rather indefinite although he preferred the idea that thoughts become words.

Now the field is much more sophisticated because we know so much more about the workings of the brain itself and how, when, and where thought is transmitted.  Scans of the brain's waves and impulses have accelerated us far down the road to a more exact relationship between words and thoughts.  Now we can track a thought's representation via electronic impulse down a dendrite to a synapse, and if the impulse continues traveling, we can see it split down three or more dendrites to other and related synapses.  (Some have hypothesized that deceptive thoughts spring from certain areas of the brain, truthful thoughts from another.  That house of cards is feeble at best and will probably fall with the next experiment done in this area.)

The particular impulse that spawns words hasn't been tracked yet, so it is still an enigma as to whether the electronic impulse coming through the synapses forms the words we want to use for the thought or contains the words a speaker's language already uses for the thought.  What exactly causes a person to say, "Oui, si, yes, ya" or one of many sets of sounds for acknowledgment if a speaker wants to simply say yes?  How does a person receive the information that will use words in a particular grammatical order to carry the semantic meaning intended?  (When that information is forthcoming, then the deception deer will be an easy animal to kill.)  The researcher Pinker hypothesizes that the electronic impulse interacts with  chemicals that change information to words in a speaker's language.

In the meantime, speech will (enigmatically) continue to function according to its many splendored purposes... for encouragement, for inspiration, for command, for guidance, for sarcasm, for deception, for truth, for emphasis, for negative connotation, for nurture, and for signaling feelings.  But, I want to use my speech for expressing enjoyment mainly... for the impulses carrying the idea of a particular laugh, a distinctive touch, a specific scent, and a special, sacred scene to yield words of beauty, a smile, and the most pleasant of sentient thoughts.
