Cognitive Science, Volume 47, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 Abstract A central concern of the cognitive science of language since its origins has been the concept of the linguistic system. Recent approaches to the system concept in language point to the exceedingly complex relations that hold between many kinds of interdependent systems, but it can be difficult to know how to proceed when “everything is ...

Grounded Cognition Entails Linguistic Relativity: A Neglected Implication of a Major Semantic Theory
Topics in Cognitive Science, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 615-647, October 2023., 2023 Abstract According to the popular Grounded Cognition Model (GCM), the sensory and motor features of concepts, including word meanings, are stored directly within neural systems for perception and action. More precisely, the core claim is that these concrete conceptual features reuse some of the same modality‐specific representations that serve to ...

Using existing empirical evidence from language and memory, we challenge this tradition, arguing that mutual knowledge captures only a ...
