Meeting Description:
The last decade has seen many exciting advances in our understanding of natural
language as connected with, and to some extent rooted in, the other neural
systems, particularly motor systems. We are interested in exploring those
connections & roots in the symposium. This symposium brings together
participants from a broad array of disciplines to discuss topics that include
the connections between gesture and manual/signed languages, the extent to which
genes important for natural language (FOXP2) are also implicated in complex
motor and rhythmic activity, the semantics of motion & actions concepts, and
their connections to the motor cortex in language production and understanding,
recent discoveries regarding 'mirror neurons,' and their implications for
natural language understanding and linguistic intention, the motor theory of
speech perception, language and multimodality generally: the extent to which non
linguistic cognitive/perceptual systems might play a role in the formation of
linguistic concepts and in processing & production.
