It can be stated without a doubt that language is tied to cognition and vice versa. Language is a key element of cognition. It helps us to organize our thoughts and ideas. Cognitive linguists study language as a thing that reflects fundamental features and designs in the mind of a person.

We can distinguish such processes that cognition includes – thinking, remembering, language understanding, reasoning, learning, etc. All of these processes cannot be accomplished without using a language (Patel, D., Patel, S., & Wang, Y., 2003).
