Yes. Though maybe not symbolic thoughts. I plainly don't use language to plan complex physical motions in real time. Stuff like deciding a path to take through a bunch of trees. I also don't use language to do mental rotations etc. but I have never succeeded in thinking about anything abstract with language. I have heard of people who claim they don't but I am not sure I believe them.
