Description

Cognitive Linguistics, Construction Grammar and Semiotics: A Theoretical and Empirical Synthesis What if language isn't a computational system—but a biological survival tool? For decades, linguists have debated whether language is innate or learned, formal or functional, symbolic or embodied. This groundbreaking work transcends these tired oppositions with a revolutionary synthesis: Agentive Cognitive Construction Grammar (AgCCxG)—a framework grounding language in our embodied existence as biological agents navigating uncertainty. The core insight: Language emerges from the same predictive mechanisms that help you maintain balance and regulate breathing. Syntax isn't innate universal grammar or mere frequency effects—it's the organism's solution to minimizing surprise and maintaining homeostatic integrity through precise environmental modeling. What you'll discover: Empirical validation through corpus analysis. Original research on German modals and Russian metaphors reveals how proprioception, interoception, and motor experience create meaning at multiple scales. Ontological metaphors recruit tactile embodiment at 42.6%; orientational metaphors engage proprioception at 68.2%—lawful projections from physical experience, not arbitrary associations. Why humans differ from AI. Large language models mimic patterns through statistical optimization, but lack "Constructional Attachment Patterns"—hypothesis-driven semiotic relations integrating form, function, and embodied agency. Genuine understanding requires biological embodiment, not just computational processing. A new framework for meaning. Integrating Peircean semiotics with predictive processing theory and active inference, this synthesis shows language as a predictive semiotic tool shaped by biological imperatives—with profound implications for education, AI development, and human self-understanding. Essential reading as generative AI reshapes communication and raises urgent questions about consciousness, agency, and what makes human meaning-making irreducibly unique. Rigorous yet accessible. Empirically grounded yet philosophically sophisticated.
