Researchers have successfully tested and modeled the cognitive conception of language
Recent interdisciplinary studies across cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics, and computational neuroscience successfully model and test the cognitive and mental representations underlying language processing.
The retrieved papers provide robust empirical and computational evidence demonstrating that researchers actively test, model, and validate cognitive conceptions of language through event knowledge representations, pragmatics, metaphor schemas, and neurocomputational models.
