The chinese language's philosophy is different than the philosophy of the english language. The philosophy of their culture is different, and so is the way they think. It's not really that surprising considering the difference in chinese and greek/christian philosophies...
Besides that language is inherently mathematics anyhow. Language is Mathematics. Language=mathematics. The only real difference I suppose would be the usage of it maybe. The english language seems almost assumptious sometimes, saying they ARE things. "I am depressed", you aren't depressed! You just FEEL depressed.
By the way, I've heard that while alot of americans have alot of problems accepting and understanding the ideas of quantum mechanics, people from china seem to almost inately understand it. One reason I heard americans have a hard time with it is how exactly something can be in more than one place at the same time.
"Are we to expect that those who do not excel in language comprehension do equally poorly in art/music comprehension?"
No. Alot of artists and writers are reclusive and don't really enjoy the company of people. I just watched the henry darger documentary the other day-- it almost seems relevant to this. That just really sparks the question of if communication with real and normal people really has any value beyond being the accepted norm to function in society, namely to propagate. If not, is there any real value to communication and language at all?
