If, however, linguistic ability is sui generis (in the sense that it cannot be physicalistically reduced) and if the human person is essentially distinguished by his linguistic ability, then, in effect, empiricism is committed to the thesis that the "creature" that achieves language is not one and the same as the creature that first begins to acquire language.

The proposition, as readily taken naturalistically as physicalistically, is to the effect that the meanings of at least certain terms in our thinking and feeling are in some unexpected way related to things outside our heads, certainly not just caused by them.
