Language and cultural evolution Embodied and Extended Cognition Action Observation and Synchronization

Abstract

The basic function of language is communication. When the listener succeeds in decoding the message intended by the speaker, the communication has been a success. But exactly how does the speaker package information to make sure that the listener will succeed? What does the listener have to do to build up a mental representation that echoes the original representation in the speaker’s mind?
