Abstract

The article examines the dialectical relationship between logic and language in the cognitive process, thereby proposing an applied model in education. Based on the analysis of logic's role as the "skeleton" and language as the "flesh" of thought, the paper indicates that optimal cognition is achieved only through a harmonious combination of these two elements. By examining the micro-interactions between logical units (concepts, judgments, inferences) and linguistic units (words, sentences, discourses), the article proposes an integrated educational model to simultaneously develop logical thinking and language proficiency. Specific applications are analyzed in teaching formal logic, developing critical thinking, and applying the TRIZ systematic innovation methodology in an educational environment.
