Our new review paper ‘Multimodal encoding of motion events in speech, gesture and cognition’ is out 🎉 (w. Aslı Özyürek & Ezgi Mamus) doi.org/10.1017/lang...

There are so many disagreements about how meaning is represented in the mind and brain. @jamiereillycog.bsky.social had the vision to collect together a motley crew to at least agree on what they mean by the terms they use. I don't know if we got to agreement, but the conversation was enlightening!
