mirror neurons and (inter)subjectivity: typological evidence from east asian languages
Authors
abstract
language is primarily constituted by action and interaction based on sensorimotor information. this paper demonstrates the nature of subjectivity and intersubjectivity through the neural mechanism and typological evidence of sentence-final particles from east asian languages and extends to the discussion of the relationship between them. i propose that intersubjecivity is a kind of embedded or nested interpersonal synergy grounded in mirror neurons. by means of shared motor information and embodied simulation, one’s self models can be generated in which other self-models are embedded. with the process of embedded interpersonal synergies, the relationship between synergies might be concerned to produce mutual shaping of meaning between speaker and hearer. accordingly, i propose a hypothesis that the more intersubjective markers a language has, the more embedded or nested interpersonal synergies it has. this proposal opens new perspective on the understanding of the nature of language communication and (inter)subjectivity.

This paper describes the participation of MIRACLE in NTCIR 2005 CLIR task. Although our group has a strong background and long expertise in Computational Linguistics and Information Retrieval applied to European languages and using Latin and Cyrillic alphabets, this was our first attempt on East Asian languages. Our main goal was to study the particularities and distinctive characteristics of J...

T he business environment is characterized by environmental and exogenous factors that affect company performance to the extent that it prevents managers from interacting effectively with a company. This study built on the literature on the ease of doing business and capital flight by empirically demonstrating the importance of business environments across different countries. To thi...
full textThe ontogenetic origins of mirror neurons: evidence from ‘tool-use’ and ‘audiovisual’ mirror neurons
Since their discovery, mirror neurons—units in the macaque brain that discharge both during action observation and execution—have attracted considerable interest. Whether mirror neurons are an innate endowment or acquire their sensorimotor matching properties ontogenetically has been the subject of intense debate. It is widely believed that these units are an innate trait; that we are born with...
