Cognitive and Semantic Forms (CF & SF)
Grammaticization: From bag of tricks to systematic syntax
Karine Megerdoomian: Unlocking the CF of verbs
Unpacking syntactic categories: e.g., mass nouns versus
count nouns.
From scene components to constituents
Heine: in front of/behind
SF CF
PF
Language-Specific “Almost” Language-Independent
I will use the term SF for Semantic Form (not San Francisco!)
The idea is that this occupies the same place as LF in
the approach of many linguists, but emphasizes that Logic is more likely
to be a useful descriptive tool rather than a strict match for neural representations.

Performance Revisited Cognitive Structures
Observations: (Schema Assemblages) CF
Each form is distributed across
multiple brain regions.
Binding of subrepresentations is
required both within and across Semantic Structures
Forms. (Hierarchical Constituents
expressing objects, SF
The Problem of Serial Order:
Linking hierarchical constituents to
actions and relationships)
ordered expressive gestures.
Hypothesis:
Linkages of the Basal Ganglia to
multiple levels play a crucial role.
“Phonological” Structures
(Ordered Expressive PF
Gestures)

Extending the Mirror System
A subtle issue: We start with a clear distinction between the representation of the grasp
(the action/proto-verb) and the raisin (the thing/proto-noun) in the brain, but in the
spoken language both noun and verb are uttered by actions. Given this, how are we to
maintain the distinction between verb and noun?
Review the imaging data in this light.

A Key to Distinguishing CF from Linguistic Forms
Distinguishing the sign from the affordance or the schema
Recall: Two Roles for Imitation in the Evolution of Manual-Based Communication
1. Extending imitation from imitation of hand movements by hand movements to
pantomime which uses the degrees of freedom of the hand (and arm and body) to
imitate degrees of freedom of objects and actions other than hand movements.
Distinguishing the neural representation of the action or object per se (CF) from
the gesture which represents it (PF)
2. Extending these pantomime movements to to provide ad hoc gestures that may
convey to the observer information which is hared to pantomime in an “obvious”
manner. This requires extending the mirror system from the grasping repertoire to
mediate imitation of gestures to support the transition from ad hoc gestures to
conventional signs which can reduce ambiguity and extend semantic range.
The beginning of morphology - modifying a gesture to provide shadings of
meaning.
Such modifications may be ad hoc, yet become more systematic as historical
evolution regularizes certain of these constructions.

The full neural representation of the “Cognitive Form” (CF): Grasp-A(Object)
requires not only the regions AIP and F5canonical shown in the MNS diagram, but also
inferotemporal cortex (IT) which holds the identity of the object.
How are these representations bound together?
NOTE: This is only the Cognitive Form. There are no “Linguistic Forms” in the monkey.
How are these in humans linked to the CF (assumed homologous to monkey’s)?

If the monkey needs so many brain regions for the mirror system for
grasping, how many more brain regions will we need for
an account of the language-ready brain that goes beyond the mirror
that goes far beyond the F5 Broca’s area homology to develop a full
neurolinguistic model linking CF, SF and PF ??

Towards a Computational Neurolinguistics
Cooperative computation in the brain: to make sense of data relating
different brain regions to different aspects of language.
Do these data reflect the brain's genetic prespecification and/or the
results of the self-organization of the infant brain when the infant
develops within a particular language community?
