[koglist] [CDC Seminars] CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: March 14. Can the comprehension of abstract language be rooted in sensory experiences?

by Gyorgyne Finta

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) ! _______________________________________________ Subscribe by sending an empty mail to seminars-subscribe(a)cdc.ceu.hu Unsubscribe by sending an empty mail to seminars-unsubscribe(a)cdc.ceu.hu
