An ecological alternative to a 'sad response': Public language use transcends the boundaries of the skin

摘要

Embedding theories of language production and comprehension in theories of action-perception is realistic and highlights that production and comprehension processes are interleaved. However, layers of internal models that repeatedly predict future linguistic actions and perceptions are implausible. I sketch an ecological alternative whereby perceiver/ actors are modeled as dynamical systems coupled to one another and to the environment.
