Of course!  How do you think a musician looks at a piece of sheet music
and figures out what it's *supposed* to sound like?  Or, the pronunciation
for a word in a dictionary and know what it will sound like?

How do you think a baker/chef/bartender assembles ingredients with an
expectation of what it will *taste* like?

Don't you conjure an "image" when someone talks about "burning sulfur"?
Or, "vanilla"?

Can't you imagine what a piece of silk feels like?  Sandpaper?  Grease?
