Abstract

Theories of embodied cognition postulate that language processing activates similar sensory-motor structures as when interacting with the environment. Only little is known about the neural substrate of embodiment in a foreign language (L2) as compared to the mother tongue (L1). In this fMRI study, we investigated embodiment of motor and non-motor action verbs in L1 and L2 including 31 late bilinguals. Half had German as L1 and French as L2, and the other half vice-versa. We collapsed across languages to avoid the confound between language and order of language acquisition. Region of interest analyses showed stronger activation in motor regions during L2 than during L1 processing, independently of the motor-relatedness of the verbs. Moreover, a stronger involvement of motor regions for motor-related as compared to non-motor-related verbs, similarly for L1 and L2, was found. Overall, the similarity between L1 and L2 embodiment seems to depend on individual and contextual factors.

动作相关语言在母语和晚期外语中的体现——功能磁共振成像研究。
具体认知理论假设,语言处理激活的感觉运动结构与与与环境互动时相似。与母语(L1)相比,对外语(L2)实施例的神经基底知之甚少。在这项功能磁共振成像研究中,我们研究了运动和非运动动作动词在L1和L2中的体现,包括31名晚期双语者。一半人的德语为L1,法语为L2,另一半人的法语为L2。我们跨语言崩溃,以避免语言和语言习得顺序之间的混淆。感兴趣区域分析显示,与动词的运动相关性无关,在L2处理过程中,运动区域的激活比在L1处理过程中更强。此外,与非运动相关动词相比,运动相关动词的运动区域参与度更强,类似于L1和L2。总体而言,L1和L2实施例之间的相似性似乎取决于个人和上下文因素。
