{"pk":28966,"title":"Rule-following, Lexical Competence and Categorization Processes","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The article addresses the issues of extending a category and updating a lexical concept, and determining its reference. Wetry to answer the questions: how can an object seen for the first time extend a category or update a concept? How is itpossible to determine the reference of a concept that represents a behaviour? Firstly, we discuss the learning of inferentiallinguistic competence used to update a concept through an approach based on prototype theory. Secondly, we discuss thelearning of referential linguistic competence used to determine the reference of a concept through an approach based onembodied cognition. Finally, on the basis of the dual dimension of the praxis of rule-following, we show how it is possibleto combine the two approaches into a single model that deals with both the extension of a category and the updating of aconcept, and the determination of the reference.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Poster Presentations with Abstracts","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/27d099fn","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Marco","middle_name":"","last_name":"Cruciani","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Trento","department":""},{"first_name":"Francesco","middle_name":"","last_name":"Gagliardi","name_suffix":"","institution":"Ministry of University and Research","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2019-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28966/galley/18837/download/"}]}
