unarticulated

Hi, again Kim. I suppose Mark will have to decide when he reads the sentence in context if this part of the process has not been expressed or it has not been analyzed (and I suggest that he looks at the definition of unarticulated at Merriam-Webster) but to continue with our discussion, I believe thinking takes precedence over language although I concede that you need language to articulate your thoughts, so it all comes down to the problem of language vs. thought.
Regards.

In this sentence, ‘unarticulated’ is a past participial adjective, i.e. a verb functioning as an adjective. Unarticulated = not articulated. To articulate: to express, to put in words
