What about embodied cognition?

[Swamidass (Peaceful Science)]

Thanks for your moment of sanity in all this. I’ll respond more later, but had a question…

@AMWolfe

Incidentally, while we’re on the topic, I find it curious that the premiere organization of Christian field linguists, SIL International, leans largely non-Chomskian (with some exceptions). One might expect an organization with an American Evangelical base to lean toward the theoretical framework that resonates with ID… yet it doesn’t. And, ironically, it takes a fair amount of flak for that by Chomskian linguists in the secular academy. Quite a bit of irony there!

How do you fit embodied cognition in to this?

For:

Six views of embodied cognition - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review

Against:

The poverty of embodied cognition - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review

I seem some large strengths of this view, as embodiment may be a precondition for theory of mind and for language. Where does this sit in relationship to Chomsky, who seems to be presenting a more abstract view of cognition?
