Jazz, this a very interesting subjet.
Let me remind this quotation
How strangely do we diminish a thing as soon as we try to express it in words.
Maurice Maeterlinck .
This is very often my feeling: my thoughts are pre-verbal and it is sometimes hard to me to find the correct words to express them (even in my Italian, which is rich enough). I feel that the language is like a cage.
I would say that the possible thoughts are MORE than the possible sentences - even if infinite in both cases.
In fact, it is possible to give a meaning to the sentence
an infinite set is BIGGER than another infinite set (Cantor did - about 1880)...My apologies if I went too much in my mathematical field - someone dislikes it?!!

Ciao
