Since the proposal of conceptual metaphors as the representational means for grounding
abstract concepts in concrete sensorio-motor experiences, experimental research about this …

This essay proposes and defends a pluralistic theory of conceptual embodiment. Our
concepts are represented in at least two ways:(i) through sensorimotor simulations of our …

Embodied theories are increasingly challenging traditional views of cognition by arguing
that conceptual representations that constitute our knowledge are grounded in sensory and …

In the last decade many researchers have obtained evidence for the idea that cognition
shares processing mechanisms with perception and action. Most of the evidence supporting …

In some theories of sentence comprehension, linguistically relevant lexical knowledge, such
as selectional restrictions, is privileged in terms of the time-course of its access and …

Recent years have witnessed growing interest in cognitive linguistics (CL) and its potential
insights for L2 learning. However, few experimental investigations have applied a CL …

Recent converging evidence suggests that language and vision interact immediately in non-
trivial ways, although the exact nature of this interaction is still unclear. Not only does …

The role of working memory (WM) in sentence comprehension has received considerable
interest, but little work has investigated how sentence production relies on memory …

We explore whether time shifts in text comprehension are represented spatially. Participants
read sentences involving past or future events and made sensibility judgment responses in …

We tested an embodied account of language proposing that comprehenders create
perceptual simulations of the events they hear and read about. In Experiment 1, children …
