EMBODIMENT GEBUNDEN

The first volume of the two-volume set Body  Language and Mind focuses on the concept of
embodiment  understood in most general terms as the bodily basis of phenomena such as meaning 
mind  cognition and language. The volume offers a representative  multi- and interdisciplinary
state-of-the-art collection of papers on embodiment and brings together a large variety of
different perspectives  from cognitive linguistics  cognitive science  philosophy  psychology 
semiotics and artificial intelligence. Being envisioned as a reader of sorts in theoretical and
empirical research on embodiment  the book revolves around several core issues that have been
addressed previously  to a large degree independently  in various disciplines. In particular
the volume illustrates the diversity of notions of embodiment that has arisen in various
disciplines over the last twenty years  and addresses the question how these different
interpretations relate to each other  i.e. are they different aspects of or different
perspectives on the same phenomena  or do they actually contradict each other? For this purpose
several aspects of cognition and language  such as phenomenal experience  perception  action 
conceptualization  communication  meaning creation  social interaction and culture  are
illuminated from the perspective of different theories of embodiment. The contributions are
integrated through cross-connections between individual authors' papers and through an
introductory essay that identifies the different strands of research  the central issues that
they share  and the synergies that can be gained from addressing embodiment from an
interdisciplinary perspective.
