Outline of lecture
This course is offered as a part of the International Program on ""Effective Utilization of Technology"" at the Graduate School of Decision Science and Technology. The purpose of the lecture is to understand the cognitive linguistics from the viewpoint of embodied economics.
The Embodiment Theory, which plays now an important role in cognitive linguistics, leads us to situate the language capacity in a more general theory of body and mind, action and perception, movement and imagery. The body-based approach in linguistics is founded upon biological substrates to profoundly understand the language capacity within a total range of human behavior, just as branches of the Economics (Behavioral Economics, Cognitive Economics and Neural Economics) are being oriented in this direction. In some trends of the Economics, the economic activities just like embodied language behavior are considered as if tossed by the waves of bodily states and feelings to gemerate irrational and emotional reactions. The language speaker is not a robot computer in which a perfect model of semantic processing is implemented. In the same sense, the human is not an ""Economic Man"" who always makes rational and logical decisions. Thus, we connot help asserting that Language behavior and economic activities are tightly related in the identical function of brain neural networks. There can be also found undeniable effects of language produced on decision-making processes and outcomes. Different resources that languages provide for describing strictly identical situations result in different attitudes and economic preferences for native speakers of those languages. In this course, we will propose a new research field that can be called ""Embodied Economics"" from the viewpoint of the synergy of different domains of human sciences: cognitive linguistics and decision science.

The language speaker is not a robot computer in which a perfect model of semantic processing is implemented. Similarly, the human is not an ""economic entity"" that always makes rational and logical decisions. Thus, we cannot help but assert that language behavior and economic activities are tightly related in the identical functions of brain neural networks. It is also possible to observe undeniable effects of language on decision-making processes and outcomes.

Plan of lecture
I. Introduction [by Prof. Akama] (Wednesday, October the 15th, 16:40~18:10, West-9 Building Room 202)
This introduction will take place on 15th October, 2008 in a joint session for the three Embodied Economics Courses (Cognition, Language and Brain) to provide an overview of cognitive linguistics and simulation semantics, especially from the perspective of the synergy of linguistics and other human sciences.
II. Cognitive Aspects of Lexicon [by Prof. Joyce] 12th and 19th November and 3rd and 10th December, 16:40~18:10, West-9 Building Room 202)
The primary objective of this course is to reflect on some of the organizational principles that underlie the highly structured and connected nature of the lexicon. To that aim, the first couple of lectures will introduce a number of effects identified within the visual word recognition literature and some of the influential models of the mental lexicon that seek to account for these effects, noting, in particular, the potential of connectionist models. The final couple of lectures will focus on word association. Given that association is a basic mechanism of human cognition, efforts to map out the rich networks of associations that exist between words are vital to attempts to identify and understand the structured relations that exist between concepts-a topic of considerable interest for various areas of cognitive science, such as psychology, cognitive linguistics, computer science, natural language processing, and artificial intelligence.
III. Simulation semantics [by Prof. Bergen] (New Year Session , Wednesday January 7th, 13:20~18:10 including the winter school session with Prof. Joyce, West-9 Building Room 202)
Simulation semantics, the understanding component of the language comprehension theory, is predicated on the idea that language understanding is contingent upon the understander mentally simulating, or imagining, the content of utterances. This simulation-based view of meaning grows out of theories of language and the mind in which embodiment plays a central role.
The study of how different aspects of language contribute to the construction of mental imagery, and the corresponding theory of linguistic meaning as linguistic specifications of what and how to simulate in response to language, is known as simulation semantics. Any success of a simulation semantics approach suggests that the meanings of words and of their grammatical configurations are precisely the contributions those linguistic elements make to the construction of mental simulations - thus, that grammar cannot be understood without being integrated with a system for performing semantic processing.
