Abstract

Kemmerer's paper convincingly claims that the grounded cognition model (GCM) entails linguistic relativity. Here, we underline that tackling linguistic relativity and cultural differences is vital for GCM. First, it allows GCM to focus more on flexible rather than stable aspects of cognition. Second, it highlights the centrality of linguistic experience for human cognition. While GCM-inspired research underscored the similarity between linguistic and nonlinguistic concepts, it is now paramount to understand when and how language(s) influence knowledge. To this aim, we argue that linguistic variation might be particularly relevant for more abstract concepts-which are more debatable and open to revisions.

基础认知、语言相对性和抽象概念。

Kemmerer的论文令人信服地宣称，基础认知模型（GCM）包含了语言的相对性。在这里，我们强调，解决语言相关性和文化差异对GCM至关重要。首先，它允许GCM更多地关注认知的灵活而非稳定方面。其次，它强调了语言经验在人类认知中的中心地位。虽然GCM启发的研究强调了语言和非语言概念之间的相似性，但现在最重要的是了解语言何时以及如何影响知识。为此，我们认为语言变异可能与更抽象的概念特别相关，这些概念更具争议性，更容易修改。
