Embodied metaphor in perceptual symbols
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 22 (4):617-618 (1999)
Abstract
We agree with Barsalou's claim about the importance of perceptual symbols in a theory of abstract concepts. Yet we maintain that the richness of many abstract concepts arises from the metaphorical mapping of recurring patterns of perceptual, embodied experience to provide essential structure to these abstract ideasMy notes
