This book focuses on the connection between action and verbal
communication, exploring topics such as the mechanisms of language
processing, action processing, voluntary and involuntary actions,
knowledge of language and assertion. Communication modelling and
aspects of communicative actions are considered, along with
cognitive requirements for nonverbal and verbal communicative
action.
Contributions from expert authors are organised into three parts
in this book, focussing on language in communication, action and
bodily awareness and sensorimotor interaction and language
acquisition.
Readers will discover various methods that have been employed in
investigations presented here, including neurological experiment,
computational modeling and logical and philosophical analysis.
These diverse expert perspectives shed light on the extent to
which a mechanism for processing actions also facilitates the
processing of language and the authors work prompts further
interdisciplinary investigation of the relationship between
language and action.
This book is written for readers from different academic
backgrounds; from graduate students to established academics in
disciplines ranging from neuroscience to psychology, philosophy,
linguistics and beyond.
Earlier versions of the selected essays in this book were
presented at the 2013 IEAS Conference on Language and Action, held
in Taipei, Taiwan."
