#Applying embodied cognition approaches to L2 learning
Hideki Hamamoto
#Documento (.pdf)    
#Abstract
The longstanding view of the predominant linguistic paradigms is that linguistic representation is symbolic and independent of human bodily experiences. Opposed to this disembodied cognition view, recent empirical evidence from cognitive science suggests that human language cognition is grounded in embodied experiences. This embodied cognition view rests on the idea that the mind and the body are not separate entities and we are likely to understand partially some abstract linguistic concepts by relating them cognitively to our own bodily experience. This view suggests that L2 knowledge is also partially based on embodiment. Speakers of an L2 without embodied experiences may be called ‘L2 zombies’ since they lack this authentic sensation. This paper reports on the efficacy of introducing the embodiment view into L2 learning such as in the teaching of the space-related adjectives ‘high’ and ‘tall,’ and the present perfect progressive construction. The findings indicate that due consideration of embodied experience is desirable to foster learners’ true understanding of their L2.
