A central finding in experimental research identified with Embodied Cognition (EC) is that understanding actions involves their embodied simulation, i.e. executing some processes involved in performing these actions. Extending these findings, I argue that reenactment – the overt embodied simulation of actions and practices, including especially communicative actions and practices, within uttera...

The necessity of and means for distinguishing between a level of linguistic meaning and a domain of "factual knowledge" (or cognitive content) are argued for, supported by a survey of relevant operational criteria. The level of meaning is characterized as a safe base for computational applications, which allows for a set of inference rules accounting for the content (factual relations) of a giv...

The project of giving an account of meaning in natural languages goes largely by assigning truth-conditional content to sentences. I will call the view that sentences have truth-conditional content propositionalism as it is common to identify the truth-conditional content of a sentence with the proposition it expresses. This content plays an important role in our explanations of the speech-acts...

After a traumatic event like a stroke, people need to find meaning and control again. This study enhances knowledge on one of the driving principles behind meaning-making processes: global meaning. Global meaning refers to individuals' general orienting systems, comprising fundamental beliefs and life goals. Little is known about global meaning in people with stroke and whether global meaning c...

We introduce a pilot study for the Taggin‘ Tallinn framework of virtual community concepts of meaning-building, based on locative [1] content. The latter refers to concepts in which individuals tag locations with their own content, such as images, comments, audio, and video clips or game contents. This association is implemented in terms of a database, accessible for upload and download via the...

One of the major problems in CBIR is the so-called ‘semantic gap’: the difference between low-level features, extracted from images, and the high-level ‘information need’ of the user. The goal of diminishing the semantic gap can be regarded as a quest for similar ‘concepts’ rather than similar features, where a concept is loosely defined as “what words (or images) stand for, signify, or mean” [...

ion) and in that it neatly separates formal from content operations. Still, we have one further refinement to make. In our view, integration operations may be of two kinds: integration by schematic enrichment and integration by combination. We discuss each mode of integration in turn. Francisco J.
