SUMMARY:Embodied and Situated Language Processes Conference
DESCRIPTION:ESLP 2025 will be hosted by Aix Marseille Université\, organized by the members of the CRPN (UMR CNRS 7077\, Aix Marseille Université) in collaboration with SCALab (UMR CRNS 9193\, Université de Lille). \nThe Embodied and Situated Language Processing (ESLP) Conference\, provides an interdisciplinary forum discussing current developments in grounding during online language processing. It welcomes a broad spectrum of methods to examine the interaction of language and sensory and motor processing\, such as behavioural\, neurophysiological and computational approaches\, to foster research in the context of theories of semantic grounding or embodiment and pragmatic situated communication and language use. \nThis year’s conference will expand its scope to include perspectives on non-human cognition. The historic city of Aix-en-Provence\, with its rich academic heritage and strong tradition in cognitive science research\, provides the perfect backdrop for fostering interdisciplinary exchanges between researchers. \n\n\n\n  \nProgramme \nConference registration

SUMMARY:Cultural evolution creates language-like structure: from humans to humpback whales and beyond
DESCRIPTION:Simon Kirby \nUniversity of Edinburgh \n  \nAll known languages are made up of statistically coherent sequences – words – whose frequency distribution follows a power law known as a Zipfian distribution. Despite the ubiquity of these features across languages their origins are poorly understood. In this talk\, I will argue that they arise because they facilitate learning and therefore emerge through the process of cultural transmission of language. I will summarise results from an experiment in which non-linguistic sequences evolve as they are transmitted from generation to generation of participants. By using insights from infant speech segmentation\, I analyse those sequences and observe the emergence of Zipf’s law over generations. This work makes a prediction that we should find Zipfian distribution of statistically coherent sequences wherever systems culturally evolve\, including in other species. However\, so far these features have only been found in humans. In the second part of the talk I will turn to the culturally evolving song of humpback whales and apply the same analytic technique to 8 years of whale recordings. We show for the first time in another species that these characteristic statistical properties are indeed present in whale song. By doing so\, we demonstrate a deep commonality between two species separated by tens of millions of years of evolution but united by both having culture. Finally\, in the last part of the talk I will present ongoing work on the development of the same features in a third unrelated species. \n

SUMMARY:Multidimensional Semantics for Concrete and Abstract Concepts
DESCRIPTION:Penny M. Pexman \nWestern University\, Canada \n  \nMultiple representation theories posit that concepts are represented via a combination of properties derived from sensorimotor\, affective\, linguistic\, and other experiences. One advantage of this approach is that it helps address the challenge of abstract meanings\, like wisdom and friendship\, which are central to our mental and social lives and yet cannot be directly experienced through the senses. I will describe a series of studies in which my colleagues and I have tested predictions of multiple representation theories for acquisition and processing of concrete and abstract word meanings\, exploring the roles of sensorimotor\, interoceptive\, and social experience. The development of large-scale word norms and behavioural megastudies has enabled consideration of multiple lexical and semantic dimensions and exploration of the possibility that these dimensions have simultaneous and interacting effects on behaviour. Using these “big data” I will consider how these multiple factors might be mapped in semantic space. \n \nBIO: Penny Pexman is Vice-President (Research) and Professor of Psychology at Western University She joined Western in 2023\, having previously spent 25 years at the University of Calgary\, where she served in a number of research leadership roles including Associate Dean (Research) in the Faculty of Arts and Associate Vice-President (Research). Penny was Editor-in-Chief of the Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology and Associate Editor of the Journal of Memory and Language. She is past President of the Canadian Society for Brain\, Behaviour and Cognitive Science\, past Governing Board Chair for the Psychonomic Society\, a current member of Governing Board of the Cognitive Science Society\, and co-founder of Women in Cognitive Science – Canada.   \nPenny’s research expertise is in cognitive development\, psycholinguistics\, and cognitive neuroscience. In broad terms\, she is interested in how we derive meaning from language\, and how those processes are changed by experience. She has published more than 150 journal articles on those topics. For over 2 decades her work has been continuously funded by two of Canada’s federal funding organizations (SSHRC and NSERC)\, including NSERC’s prestigious Discovery Accelerator Supplement. She is an elected fellow of the Canadian Psychological Association and the Association for Psychological Science and has been honoured with 9 awards for mentorship and teaching excellence.

SUMMARY:The Role of Social Experience in the Grounding of Abstract Concepts
DESCRIPTION:Thesis defense of \nDaria Goriachun\nUnder the direction of de Johannes Ziegler (CRPN) et Núria Gala (LPL) \nJury :\nJohannes Ziegler – Directeur de thèse\nNúria Gala – Co-directrice de thèse\nAnna Borghi – Rapporteure\nPenny Pexman – Rapporteure\nGabriella Vigliocco – Présidente du jury\nKristof Strijkers – Examinateur \nAbstract :\nUnderstanding abstract concepts like justice or freedom\, which do not refer to physical objects\, poses a challenge for theories of language processing. This thesis investigates how social experience—both the degree to which words are socially relevant (their socialness) and the social context of communication—affects their processing. Across several experiments\, participants processed abstract and concrete words\, alone or in pairs. Results show that the social dimension of words affects processing\, particularly when participants cooperate. Social interaction thus modulates the way abstract concepts are understood\, suggesting that our social experiences can provide grounding for concepts not directly linked to perception or action. \n  \n  \n
