Description
Feeling, Thinking and Talking explores the profound connection between embodied cognition and everyday communication. L. David Ritchie demonstrates how our physical bodies, emotions, and cognitive processes are fundamentally intertwined in shaping the way we speak and understand language.
The book challenges traditional views of communication that separate mind from body, presenting instead a unified framework for understanding how sensory experiences, emotional states, and bodily awareness influence the words we choose and the meanings we convey. Ritchie draws on research from cognitive linguistics, neuroscience, and communication studies to illustrate how abstract concepts are grounded in physical experience.
Through practical examples and accessible explanations, readers will discover how metaphor, gesture, and embodied understanding play crucial roles in human interaction. This work bridges the gap between cognitive science and communication theory, offering insights valuable for linguists, psychologists, educators, and anyone interested in understanding the foundations of human expression and connection.
