This paper strives to encompass the concept of language and thought in the perspective of psycholinguistics. It, moreover, elaborates two major linguistic theories, namely linguistic determinism and linguistic relativity to describe the concept. By comparing these two theories, this paper provides proponents of theories along with several reasonable doubts regarding them. Eventually, by providing many theories and empirical examples relating to the concept of language and thought, it is no longer important whether a language precedes thought or conversely thought develops a language; what is really important now is that how in the end we realise that these two surely have each own contribution in the way we perceive the world today.
