For example, Goossens et al. (1995) discussed the underlying concepts of linguistic actions, and Bounegru and Forceville (2011) examined the realization of lexical metaphors as visual and verbal modalities in editorial cartoons.
Beginning level second language learners of Chinese engaged in cooperative activities designed to provide them opportunities to refine linguistic actions by way of caring for others, for the world, and for themselves.
Drawing on the constraints and affordances of community gives rise to linguistic choices and skilled linguistic action.
Utterance In pragmatics, an utterance is most often taken to be a linguistic action performed by a certain speaker in a certain place at a certain moment.
It is true that the semantic style of linguistic action in the long run enacts interpersonal relations: people living together and habitually interacting do tend to develop reciprocal forms of behaviour and attitudes.
Intervention strategies might sensibly target specific types of linguistic action-perception networks that are functionally impaired but can still be activated within some specific stimulation setting.
Civilizing people's speech will eventually civilize their mind (and hopefully in turn their non-linguistic actions) and — so Elster claims — "on the average, yield more equitable outcomes" (Elster 1995, 251).
Our conceptual space, for instance, appears to be hierarchically ordered (poodles are a kind of dog, which are a kind of quadruped, which are a kind of animal, etc).. Similarly, the planning and execution of non-linguistic actions seems often to involve the sequencing and combining of smaller behavioral units into larger wholes.
While Nordenfelt arrives at his vital goals or minimally decent life through linguistic and action-theory philosophy, Nussbaum grounds her 'central human capabilities' in human dignity, equal respect, and other ethical values.
For example, in hearing people, non-linguistic facial actions elicit activation in the superior temporal cortex, including pSTG/S (see, for example, Pelphrey et al., 2005; Puce et al., 1998) as do other types of biological motion (for a review, see Puce & Perrett, 2003).
Instead, his aim is to show that many terms traditionally placed in other categories, in fact, point to qualities or actions: linguistic usage (loquendi consuetudo) teaches us, for example, that quality is the overarching category.
