Abstract Understanding each other is a core concept of social cohesion and, consequently, has immense value in human society. Importantly, shared information leading to cohesion can come from two main sources: observed action and/or language (word) processing. In this paper, we propose a theoretical framework for the link between action observation and action verb processing. Based on the activation of common semantic representations of actions through semantic resonance, this model can account for the neurophysiological, behavioral and neuropsychological domains in the link between action observation and language. Semantic resonance is hypothesized to play a role beyond that of the mere observation of others and can benefit future studies trying to connect action production and language.

行动观察与行动语言之间联系的文献综述：推进共享语义理论

摘要 相互理解是社会凝聚力的核心概念，因此在人类社会中具有巨大的价值。重要的是，导致凝聚力的共享信息可以来自两个主要来源：观察到的动作和/或语言（文字）处理。在本文中，我们为动作观察和动作动词处理之间的联系提出了一个理论框架。基于通过语义共振激活动作的常见语义表征，该模型可以解释动作观察和语言之间联系中的神经生理学、行为学和神经心理学领域。假设语义共振的作用超出了单纯观察他人的作用，并且可以有益于未来试图将动作产生和语言联系起来的研究。
