Pezzulo (2008, 2011) and Grush (2004) contend for embodied cognitive science but interpret representations of motor behaviors as grounded on predictive internal models; those representations are referring-based. By contrast, the present paper contends that the motor control is ground on both referring-based representation (as manifest in forward models) and non-referring-based representation (a...

Research in monkey and man indicates that the ventrolateral premotor cortex (PMv) underlies not only the preparation of manual movements, but also the perceptual representation of pragmatic object properties. However, visual stimuli without any pragmatic meaning were recently found to elicit selective PMv responses if they were subjected to a perceivable pattern of change. We used functional ma...

The historical core of interactivism is a model of the nature of representing and representation. This model differs from alternatives in at least two interrelated ways: 1) it offers a dynamic, pragmatic, future oriented, model of representation, in contrast to most alternatives, with far ranging consequences for phenomena that involve representation, such as perception, language, rationality, ...

In this work we compute the capacities and the pragmatic capacities of militarystandard shaped-o set quadrature phase-shift keying (SOQPSK-MIL) and aeronautical telemetry SOQPSK (SOQPSK-TG). In the pragmatic approach, SOQPSK is treated as a modulation scheme as opposed to an encoder, and no iterations are performed between the SOQPSK demodulator and the outer binary decoder. We also evaluate th...

We will argue that this construction combines semantic and syntactic quirks that necessitate a constructional analysis. Further, we will show that specifying the pragmatic properties of the construction (and in particular the presuppositions that introduces) allows for a particularly elegant account of the construction’s distribution. This, in turn, provides further support for the sign-based v...

Background: In current information systems the pervasive role of documents and their ability of creating new entities are often overlooked. Regularly, documents are stored as mere files without analysis of their deontic powers. In order to make intelligent management of documents a real possibility, we propose an ontological representation of document acts. Objectives: This article summarizes f...

Entropy can be defined as the antithesis of well-formed true reports that agree with each other and with the material facts accessible through the experience of one or more competent observers. The abstract convergence (strictly formal, logical agreement) of true narrative representations (TNRs)—ordinary valid reports of facts of experience—makes them formally more complete than fictions, error...

Ecological psychology isn't just a of perception and action but offers post-cognitivist approach to as whole. In this paper we explore how the conceptual tools ecological might be put work account for linguistic deeds, activities people can perform when they are competent speakers language. We pursue question by starting from suggestion Gibson made that language use co-shape each other. However...

In the current literature on service-oriented computing, the relationship between services and web-services is not always clear. Much research, notably in the area of service representation, discovery and composition, claims to address services whereas they actually apply to web-services. In this paper, we use insights from Language/Action Perspective and from value modeling to define services ...
