Embodied compositionality: comment on "Embodied language, best-fit analysis, and formal compositionality" by J. Feldman.
Jerry Feldman’s paper is to be welcomed in seeking to link linguistic compositional semantics to some form of nonlinguistic conceptual composition. In fact, I’d like to press the question, and ask why concepts are compositional, and what it is that allows human conceptual compositionality to support human language, while animal conceptual compositionality apparently does not. First I’d like to ...
متن کاملEmbodied language, best-fit analysis, and formal compositionality.
This review brings together two fundamental, but unreconciled, aspects of human language: embodiment and compositionality. One major scientific advance in recent decades has been Embodiment - the realization that scientific understanding of mind and language entails detailed modeling of the human brain and how it evolved to control a physical body in a social community. The ability to learn and...
متن کاملEmbodied Construction Grammar Approach to Compositionality and Conceptual Representation
The objective of this paper is to bring us a little bit closer to a general Neuro -Cognitive Theory of Cognition in Language and Thought that can account for the mechanics of language understanding, studied by the models of AI or connectionism, and the biology, explained by neurology and psychobiology. Embodied Construction Grammar (Bergen et al. 2001) provides a formalism to show conceptual re...
متن کاملCompositionality, language and intention: commentary on "Embodied language, best fit analysis, and formal compositionality" by J. Feldman.
Feldman’s article [2] describes a model of language understanding that attempts an extremely ambitious goal, to characterize the entire understanding process from syntax and semantics to contextual and discourse interpretation in a single framework that is cognitively plausible. Most notably, the model provides a specific proposal on how language connects to embodied mental states, and contains...
متن کاملCompositionality, context, and cognition: comment on "Embodied language, best fit analysis, and formal compositionality" by J. Feldman.
Feldman’s project [1] has the ambitious goal of giving a compositional account of the “full range of meanings” in human language, one which meets the high standards of formalization found in formal semantics but is built on a theory of “embodied cognition”, takes into account the neurobiological substrate of language, and makes use of representations of world knowledge and discourse and situati...
