I am interested in the relation between language, thought/consciousness and other semiotic systems like gestures and pictures, in particilar in an evolutionary and developmental perspective.
I am involved in the International Association for Cognitive Semiotics (IACS).
Research
My profile in Lund University research portal
- Street Artivism on Athenian Walls: A cognitive semiotic analysis of metaphor and narrative in street art
- Phenomenology and Typology of Motion (research leader)
- Stages in the Evolution and Development of Sign Use (European Commission) (research leader)
- Choice Awareness and Manipulation Blindness: A cognitive semiotic exploration of choice-making and memory.
- Centre for Cognitive Semiotics (RJ) (research leader)
- Phenomenology and Typology of Motion (PATOM) (research leader)
- Precursors of Sign Use in Intersubjectivity and Imitation (PSUII)
Currently, I am involved in the following types of research: (1) bodily mimesis and mimetic schemas as bases for language evolution and development: developmental and cross-species studies; (2) phenomenology and linguistic typology of space and motion; (3) methods and concepts of cognitive semiotics: a new transdisciplinary field for the study of meaning and mind.
