Ventral/dorsal, predicate/argument: The transformation from perception to meaning
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 January 2004
Abstract:
It is necessary to distinguish among representations caused directly by perception, representations of past perceptions in long-term memory, the representations underlying linguistic utterances, and the surface phonological and grammatical structures of sentences. The target article dealt essentially with predicate-argument structure at the first of these levels of representation. Discussion of the commentaries mainly involves distinguishing among various applications of the term “predicate”; clarifying the assumed relationship between classical FOPL and language; clarifying the status of unique individuals as conceived by humans; and addressing the issues of motion-perception, binding between object-percepts and predicate-percepts, and target-driven versus stimulus-driven attention.
