Thinking in Words: Language as an Embodied Medium of Thought (2014, background): “Others still have argued that acquired natural language provides access to new sources of information that would not otherwise be available (Andrews et al., in press; Boroditsky & Prinz, 2008; Louwerse, 2011; Vigliocco et al., 2009).”
The Neurobiology of Semantic Memory (2011, unknown): “Although it is often overlooked in reviews of embodied cognition, emotion is as much a modality of experience as sensory and motor processing [33].”
Gestures Enhance Foreign Language Learning (2012, background): “From a neurobiological perspective, a word can be described as a network linking cell assemblies that code and process linguistic, sensory, motor (Pulvermüller 1996, 2001, 2002) and emotional (Vigliocco et al. 2009) features.”
Conceptual representations in mind and brain: theoretical developments, current evidence and future directions. (2012, methodology): “A similar point can be made about emotional information systematically co-occurring with, and therefore being linked to, words (Pulvermüller and Schumann, 1994; Vigliocco et al., 2009).”
Linguistic Distributional Knowledge and Sensorimotor Grounding both Contribute to Semantic Category Production (2020, background): “, statistical relationships of how words and phrases co-occur in language) are critical to conceptual representation and processing (Barsalou et al., 2008; Connell, 2018; Connell & Lynott, 2014b; Louwerse & Jeuniaux, 2008; Vigliocco et al., 2009).”
Coming of age: A review of embodiment and the neuroscience of semantics (2012, background): “We have recently put forward a theoretical account that goes beyond our previous work by accounting for the representaiton of abstract, in addition to concrete words (Vigliocco et al., 2009).”
Distributional Models of Word Meaning (2018, background): “The contribution of linguistic experience vis-à-vis other kinds of nonlinguistic inputs in shaping concepts is an empirical question that is widely debated in cognitive science (Dove 2014, Louwerse 2011, Vigliocco et al. 2009).”
The representation of abstract words: why emotion matters. (2011, background): “This approach is novel in that emotion is considered to be another type of experiential information (along with sensorimotor information) playing an important role in learning, representing and processing, especially for abstract semantics (Vigliocco et al., 2009).”
Understanding Natural Language Understanding Systems. A Critical Analysis (2023, background): “Statistical distributions extracted from linguistic contexts are claimed to play a major role in the acquisition of abstract words (Vigliocco, Meteyard, Andrews and Kousta 2009, Lupyan 2019), or to explain how visual properties can be learned by congenitally blind people (Lewis, Zettersten and…”
