里面的心理学实验非常有意思。It is also a promising theory, though it seems not to be able to answer some of the more fundamental questions, such as how do we get to understand a sentence in the first place, i.e. how do we hook a sentence unto an embodied simulation.

评分莱考夫推荐的,simulation真的十分有趣。这个和imagination/visualisation/dreaming的研究结合起来十分带感,非常想试试在高度suggestive的状态下语言可以激发什么样的奇迹。
评分Wow, the author calls this century the Age of Meaning, while Brian Cantwell Smith calls it the Age of Significance. What a coincidence!
Whether it's brusque, convincing, fraught with emotion, or dripping with innuendo, language is fundamentally a tool for conveying meaning--a uniquely human magic trick in which you vibrate your vocal cords to make your innermost thoughts pop up in someone else's mind. You can use it to talk about all sorts of things--from your new labradoodle puppy to the expansive gardens at Versailles, from Roger Federer's backhand to things that don't exist at all, like flying pigs. And when you talk, your listener fills in lots of details you didn't mention--the curliness of the dog's fur or the vast statuary on the grounds of the French palace. What's the trick behind this magic? How does meaning work? In "Louder than Words," cognitive scientist Benjamin Bergen draws together a decade's worth of research in psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience to offer a new theory of how our minds make meaning. When we hear words and sentences, Bergen contends, we engage the parts of our brain that we use for perception and action, repurposing these evolutionarily older networks to create simulations in our minds. These embodied simulations, as they're called, are what makes it possible for us to become better baseball players by merely visualizing a well-executed swing; what allows us to remember which cupboard the diapers are in without looking, and what makes it so hard to talk on a cell phone while we're driving on the highway. Meaning is more than just knowing definitions of words, as others have previously argued. In understanding language, our brains engage in a creative process of constructing rich mental worlds in which we see, hear, feel, and act. Through whimsical examples and ingenious experiments, Bergen leads us on a virtual tour of the new science of embodied cognition. A brilliant account of our human capacity to understand language, "Louder than Words" will profoundly change how you read, speak, and listen.
