Leading theories on how word types dissociate from each other include distinctions at the lexical level, correlations between featural properties, and distinct sensorimotor representations. Recent theories on embodied cognition have suggested that processing such stimuli involves imagery of the different body parts associated with a given concept, with activity in the sensorimotor areas along the cortex corresponding to those body parts. In my dissertation work, I implemented psycholinguistic and neuroimaging techniques to systematically test these putative distinctions. Our results represent a first step in the systematic testing of two major views on the mental organization for meaning. With new behavioral and imaging studies on the way targeting these distinctions directly, we hope to reveal a clearer picture of semantic organization and breakdown, bringing us one step forward in our understanding of how the brain organizes meaning.
