The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to a talk
(as part of its Departmental Colloquium series)
by
Anna Babarczy, Budapest University of Technology and Economics
on
Can the comprehension of abstract language be rooted in sensory
experiences?
Date: Wed, March 14, 2012 - 17:00 - 18:30
Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Frankel Leó út 30-34.,
Room G15
Can the comprehension of abstract language be rooted in sensory
experiences?
ABSTRACT: The question of learning the meaning of abstract language
(roughly, expressions with no perceptible referents) has been bugging
philosophers for thousands of years. More recently, a number of
experimental paradigms have emerged trying to shed light on this issue.
The basic idea explored in the talk is that people understand abstract
(metaphorical) expressions by linking them to sensory or bodily
experiences. If this is the case, we should be able to show that these
experiences affect people’s interpretation of abstract utterances. The
talk looks at the evidence we have so far (pro and contra).We're looking
forward to see you there (Frankel Leo u. 30-34) !
