This work reviews key behavioural, neurophysiological and neuroimaging data on the
neural substrates for processing the meaning of linguistic material, and tries to articulate the …

The role of the sensorimotor system in second language (L2) semantic processing as well
as its clinical implications for bilingual patients has hitherto been neglected. We offer an …

Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and
pedagogically practical survey of the most important developments in this exciting field. It …

Grounded theories hold sensorimotor activation is critical to language processing. Such
theories have focused predominantly on the dominant senses of sight and hearing …

High-level Synthesis (HLS) Design-Space Exploration (DSE) aims at identifying Pareto-
optimal synthesis configurations whose exhaustive search is unfeasible due to the design …

Embodied theories of cognition consider many aspects of language and other cognitive
domains as the result of sensory and motor processes. In this view, the appraisal and the …

The neural mechanisms subserving the processing of abstract concepts remain largely
debated. Even within the embodiment theoretical framework, most authors suggest that …

It is becoming clear that to truly understand what it is to be human, focusing scientific efforts
on the mind alone is insufficient. We are embodied minds, living and acting in a world full of …

The framework of embodied cognition has challenged the modular view of a language-
cognition divide by suggesting that meaning-retrieval critically involves the sensory-motor …

In this article, we propose a new account concerning the interlock between intentions and
motor representations (henceforth: MRs), showing that the interface problem is not as deep …
