An Introduction to the Cognitive Neuroscience of Language Embodiment and Relativity Special Issue of the Language Learning Cognitive Neuroscience Series.
- Authors
Thierry, Guillaume; Rahman, Rasha Abdel; Athanasopoulos, Panos
- Abstract
The article offers information on embodied cognition, which posits that human cognition originates from direct sensorimotor experience, and linguistic relativity, which suggests that language shapes human perception. It discusses objections from scholars like Fodor and Pylyshyn against embodied cognition, and Pinker's emphasis on innateness and criticism of linguistic relativity.
