When we read a text or listen to speech, meaning seems to be given to us instantaneously, as if it were part of the input. In Meaning in the Brain, Giosue Baggio explains that this is an illusion created by the tremendous speed at which sensory systems and systems for meaning and grammar operate in the brain. Meaning, Baggio argues, is not derived from input but results from the brain's internal construction process. With this book, Baggio offers the first integrated, multilevel theory of semantics in the brain, describing how meaning is generated during language comprehension, production, and acquisition. Baggio's theory draws on recent advances in formal semantics and pragmatics, including vector-space semantics, discourse representation theory, and signaling game theory. It is designed to explain a growing body of experimental results on semantic processing that have accumulated in the absence of a unifying theory since the introduction of electrophysiology and neuroimaging methods. Baggio argues that there is evidence for the existence of three semantic systems in the brain -- relational semantics, interpretive semantics, and evolutionary semantics -- and he discusses each in turn, developing neural theories of meaning for all three. Moreover, in the course of his argument, Baggio addresses several long-standing issues in the neuroscience of language, including the role of compositionality as a principle of meaning construction in the brain, the role of sensory-motor processes in language comprehension, and the neural and evolutionary links among meaning, consciousness, sociality, and action. 001412427 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001412427 650_0 $$aMeaning (Psychology) 001412427 650_0 $$aSemantics. 001412427 650_0 $$aPsycholinguistics. 001412427 653__ $$aCOGNITIVE SCIENCES/General 001412427 653__ $$aLINGUISTICS & LANGUAGE/General 001412427 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001412427 852__ $$bebk 001412427 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/11265.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001412427 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001412427 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1412427$$pGLOBAL_SET 001412427 980__ $$aBIB 001412427 980__ $$aEBOOK 001412427 982__ $$aEbook 001412427 983__ $$aOnline
