Toward a theory of semantic representation

Gabriella Vigliocco, Lotte Meteyard, Mark Andrews et al. · 1 Jun 2009

Abstract We present an account of semantic representation that focuses on distinct types of information from which word meanings can be learned. In particular, we argue that there are at least two major types of information from which we learn word meanings. The first is what we call experiential information. This is data derived both…

Metaphor, hyperbole and simile: A pragmatic approach

Robyn Carston, Catherine Wearing · 1 Jun 2011

Abstract According to recent work on lexical pragmatics within the relevance-theoretic framework, grasping the intended meaning of a metaphorically used word requires a process of adjusting the linguistically encoded concept to derive an ad hoc concept whose denotation is broader than that of the lexical concept. Metaphorical uses are claimed to be one kind of…

When time is not space: The social and linguistic construction of time intervals and temporal event relations in an Amazonian culture

Chris Sinha, Vera da Silva Sinha, Jörg Zinken et al. · 1 Mar 2011

We challenge this assumption on the basis of our research on the Amondawa (Tupi Kawahib) language and culture of Amazonia. Using both…

abstract In this theoretical paper we propose three different kinds of cognitive structure that have not been differentiated in the psychological and cognitive linguistic literatures. They are spatial primitives , image schemas , and schematic integrations . Spatial primitives are the first conceptual building blocks formed in infancy, image schemas are simple spatial stories built…

Disembodying cognition

Anjan Chatterjee · 1 Mar 2010

The idea that concepts are embodied by our motor and sensory systems is popular in current theorizing about cognition. Embodied cognition accounts come in different versions and are often contrasted with a purely symbolic amodal view of cognition. Simulation, or the hypothesis that concepts simulate the sensory and motor experience of real world encounters with…
