Action Bases of Language Processing Sample Clauses

Action Bases of Language Processing. Psycholinguistic data on Action-Compatibility Effects (ACE) during language comprehension tasks (Glenberg and Xxxxxxx, 2002) support an embodied theory of language that strictly relates the meaning of sentences to human action and motor affordances. Glenberg and Xxxxxxxxx (2000) have proposed the Indexical Hypothesis to explain the detailed interaction of language and action knowledge. This suggests that sentences are understood by creating a simulation of the actions that underlie them. When reading a sentence, the first process is to index words and phrases to objects in the environment or to analogical perceptual symbols. The second process is deriving affordances from the object or perceptual symbol. Finally, the third process is to mesh the affordances into a coherent set of actions. The meshing process is guided by the syntax of the sentence being processed. This suggests a parallel between syntax and action. Syntax has the role of combining linguistic components into an acceptable sentence. Motor control has the role of combining movements to produce the desired action. Moreover, Glenberg (personal communication) suggests that syntax emerges from using linguistic elements to guide mechanisms of motor control to produce effective action or a simulation of it. Such a view is compatible with construction grammar hypothesis that suggests that linguistic knowledge consists of a collection of symbolic form-meaning pairs reflecting, amongst other things, action roles and properties. Developmental robotics experiments can be used to specifically investigate language grounding and action-compatibility effects in syntax processing. Robots can initially be trained to acquire an action repertoire producing various motor affordance representations and constructs (e.g. give-object-to, receive-object-from, lift-object etc.). In parallel the robots will learn the names of actions and objects name. Further testing of the robot responses to ACE-like situations, and systematic analyses of the robot’s internal (e.g. neural patterns controlling the robot motor and linguistic behavior) can provide insights on the fine mechanisms linking microaffordance action representations with language.
