Life is Language

I had a strange thought while half asleep last night: that the nature of planning an action, inherent in any action, involves a linguistic component of the brain. Now maybe not for plants that do not act [really??]. But thinking of a wolf, smelling a sick bison bull a mile a way and heading for it in a straight line (ignoring all other bison ….you've seen the video) makes me believe that the wolf has an abstract understanding of a straight line AND some form of mental grammar allowing the straight line to be implemented as the wolf decides what to do. I cannot see how an action can exist without a plan, or how a plan could exist without a grammar for combining geometry and purpose.
