SUMMARY:Polysemy\, Mental Simulation and Language Comprehension

DESCRIPTION:<p>According to the simulation view\, language comprehension often constitutively involves perceptual-motor simulations. In this talk\, I will survey the empirical evidence for the simulation view. Drawing on recent work on semantic representation\, I make suggestions as to how the simulation view can be reconciled with the traditional view on which language comprehension constitutively involves amodal symbol manipulation\, elaborating on when perceptual-motor simulations may be deployed for language comprehension. I shall also illustrate how the simulation view can illuminate our judgements about zeugmaticity with respect to sentences involving polysemous words with closely related senses. I end the talk by noting how perceptual-motor simulations can have a significant impact on language users through different forms of language.</p>
