There are a lot of increasing evidences to support the strong links between action and language. Action based approach proposed the hierarchical structure of language based on action control and concerned with action goal, context, intention, mirror neurons and object affordances. Action semantics proposed that action control and use of object need not only low-level action control, but also se...

Computational Neurolinguisties (CN) integrates a r t i f i c i a l intel l igence (AI) methods with concepts of neurally motivated processing to develop cognitive models of natural language processing. HOPE is one example of a model developed to address issues in CN. The model is pa ra l l e l , and exemplifies language as the result of time synchronized processes which are asynchronous in natu...

Advances in neuroimaging techniques and analytic methods have led to a proliferation of studies investigating the impact of bilingualism on the cognitive and brain systems in humans. Lately, these findings have attracted much interest and debate in the field, leading to a number of recent commentaries and reviews. Here, we contribute to the ongoing discussion by compiling and interpreting the p...

FROM ITS INCEPTION general semantics has had a close affinity with neurology and psychology . This is shown by the adoption by general semanticists of of such terms as 'neuro-semantic mechanisms,' 'neuro-symbolic processes,' 'neurolinguistic environment,' 'neuro-evaluational factors,' and in frequent announcements to the effect that general semantics ' . . . is concerned with the linguistic and...

This paper examines English unbounded dependency constructions and concludes that the syntactic mechanism responsible for extraction operates in the same way in all constructions, regardless of the structures being subordinate or coordinate. In other words, this work argues that there is a general and fully uniform mechanism behind the linkage of ‘gaps’ and their ‘fillers’ in the family of cons...

Specific language impairment (SLI), a genetic developmental disorder, offers insights into the neurobiological and computational organization of language. A subtype, Grammatical-SLI (G-SLI), involves greater impairments in 'extended' grammatical representations, which are nonlocal, hierarchical, abstract, and composed, than in 'basic' ones, which are local, linear, semantic, and holistic. This ...
