Simulation Semantics

I am working with members of the Neural Theory of Language group at the International Computer Science Institute to develop a model of Construction Grammar based on motor programs and human imaginative simulation, Embodied Construction Grammar (ECG). Along with Srini Narayanan and Nancy Chang, I am developing a simulation-based model of the tense-aspect interface. We described our research aims in a talk entitled "Together at Last: The Tense-Aspect Interface in Simulation Semantics", which was given in the ECG theme session of the International Cognitive Linguistics Conference in Logroño, Spain in July of 2003.
