Summary/Abstract: The essay focalizes on the relationship between verbalism and visual language, questioning and looking for bases and viewpoints/considerations, which prepare the possible answers. The aim of investigations is to assign the arguments in perspective of verbalism and visual language, on the basis of which a given medium can be the original and primary medium of thinking, whereas the veracity and order of other mediums is secondary. Are verbalism and visual language in a hierarchic relationship, or can these mediums be complementary to each other? Are verbal and visual language competitor mediums, and contrary alternatives, or their synergistic interconnection can constitute an optimal medium?
