>>Man acts as though he were the shaper and master of language, while in fact language remains the master of man.
In a way, a man is delineated and controlled by the language he uses.
>>...the nature of reality does not dictate the way that reality is represented in people's minds.
Patially true, the way in which reality is represented in people's mind is determined by the biological structure
and working principle of people's nerve system. However, this interaction between the mind and the reality in the
process of the representation might imply the constitution of the nature of reality itself.
>>The languatge of thought allows us to frame a situation in different and incompatible ways
yes, that is why the world formed in the minds of some people is very different from the world formed by others and
might be far different from the "real" world.
