The impact of social interaction on abstract concepts
Social interaction is argued to play a crucial role for grounding abstract knowledge, yet empirical evidence is scarce. To investigate whether social interaction affects the processing of abstract words, 60 French speakers semantically categorized the degree of socialness and concreteness of words either individually or in dyads. When judging the socialness of words, dyads showed a processing advantage for abstract social words that was absent in…

How people produce and perceive words is one of the core questions in language research, as words are the basis of communication about the world. While it seems simple, producing and comprehending words is actually quite a complex task with multiple steps involved. When thinking about what to say we need to translate an idea into a concrete ‘word’ and tell our vocal cords to produce the word sounds in a particular order. To understand a word, we …

A Neural Assembly-Based View on Word Production
I will propose a tentative framework of how words in two languages could be organized in the cerebral cortex based on neural assembly theory, according to which neurons that fire synchronously are bound into large-scale distributed functional units (assemblies), which represent a mental event as a whole ("gestalt"). For language this means a word is engendered by widely distributed cell assemblies in which the different linguistic constituents ar…
Spoken Word Production in Second Language Acquisition
When the multilingual aphasic patient AH is asked to describe her day in Italian, she answers in the following manner: “I cannot comunicare con you; I am a disastro today” (taken from Abutalebi, Miozzo, & Cappa, 2000).
