Explore a formal mechanism for the interaction between physical space and linguistic structure in this 17-minute conference talk from the Models of Consciousness Conferences. Delve into how spatial cognition serves as a fundamental model for conceptual and metaphorical meaning. Learn about the proposed compositional model that allows for inferences based on physical space, resulting in a rich understanding of meaning closely aligned with human embodied experience. Discover key concepts such as graphical calculus, spiders, discocat, and relational models as the talk synthesizes these ideas to create a comprehensive framework for spatial linguistic meanings.
