Abstract

As the findings about the embodiment of language comprehension and some difficulties in the existing models of metaphor processing, this paper presents an adjective-based embodied cognitive net, which constructs the comprehension of knowledge in a novel view. Different from the traditional way that takes concepts as the core of knowledge comprehension, this paper views the emotions as the core and the motive power that human beings knowing the world. It is claimed that the adjective is the carrier of emotion in this paper, rather the concept. From the very nature, while getting a new thing, the first thing that comes to human’s mind are the original descriptions(usually are adjectives) and then are the concepts. Thus, this paper constructs a net based on adjectives from concrete to abstract according to the embodiment. In this knowledge net, nouns are contained as the attachment to construct a mapping between adjectives and concepts.Specially, this paper gives the embodied emotion to the adjective to deal with the emotion inference and metaphor emotion analysis in the future work.
