“…Furthermore, it is not clear from these accounts how during online language-scene interaction multiple affordances are constrained. These models do not offer clear insights into how extracting affordances of objects in the scene and affordances described in the linguistic sentence (Talmy 2000) interact with each other in the absence of any direct action to be performed. The model proposed here makes explicit the role of sensorimotor factors during languagescene interaction and also highlights how other cognitive systems (e.g.…”

The interaction between vision and language processing is clearly of interest to both cognitive psychologists and psycholinguists. Recent research has begun to create understanding of the interaction between vision and language in terms of the representational issues involved. In this paper, we first review some of the theoretical and methodological issues in the current vision-language interaction debate. Later, we develop a model that attempts to account for effects of affordances and visual context on language-scene interaction as well as the role of sensorimotor simulation. The paper addresses theoretical issues related to the mental representations that arise when visual and linguistic systems interact.

“…117-124), mental simulation-the activity of building up to a conception-is to be contrasted with represented veridical content (cp. Talmy's description of "fictive" representation as "less veridical" than "factive" representation, in Talmy 2000). Being propositional in nature, veridical content is evaluated with regard to descriptive accuracy, i.e.…”

Subjectivity in the act of representing: The case for subjective motion and change

The objective in the present paper is to analyze the aspect of subjectivity having to do with construing motion and change where no motion and change exists outside the representation, that is, in cases where the conceptualizer does not intend to convey the idea that these properties exist in the state of affairs described. In the process of doing so, I will elaborate on a critique of the notion of fictivity as it is currently being used in cognitive linguistics.

Norms and plans as unification criteria for social collectives

Based on the paradigm of Constructive Descriptions and Situations, we introduce NIC, an ontology of social collectives that includes social agents, plans, norms, and the conceptual relations between them. Norms are distinguished from plans, and their relations are formalized. A typology of social collectives is also proposed, including collection of agents, knowledge community, intentional collective, and normative intentional collective. NIC, represented as a first-order theory as well as a description logic for applications requiring automated reasoning, provides the expressivity to talk about the contexts (social, informational, circumstantial, and conceptual), in which collectives make and produce sense within the interplay of plans and norms.
