Evidence for embodied meaning: the link between actions and words
Source: ScienceDaily (based on a report in the Sept. 19 issue of Current Biology).
These researchers (lead by Lisa Aziz-Zadeh) are exploring the relationship between talk and action, and finding evidence for a closer relationship than is often assumed. Various linguists, such as George Lakoff, and some philosophers of "embodied mind" have theorized that human verbal thought is rooted in motor patterns. This study investigates some aspects that link, but also finds that metaphor and direct action statements differ in the degree to which they activate the motor aspects of the brain. Quote:
