This project builds on the embodied cognition view that language comprehension involves partial simulations of bodily and perceptual experiences, while addressing gaps in how visual processes integrate with sentence-level meaning. It investigates whether low-level visual processes merely interact with, or actively contribute to, semantic processing, a distinction that is crucial for theories of semantic cognition and for advancing human-like artificial language models. Using methods from experimental psychology, psycholinguistics, and corpus linguistics, the project tests how linguistic and perceptual processes mutually constrain each other through interference paradigms and fine-grained time-course analyses. It also examines individual differences in embodied comprehension and evaluates whether multimodal artificial language models outperform purely linguistic ones.
