Abstract

This paper presents and discusses the assumptions of the relationship between grammar and meaning construction, adopting Constructions Grammar and Mental Simulation as the theoretical premises. The challenge of a perspective of usage-based grammar is to eliminate the gap between the grammar abstraction, embodied experiences and social interaction. In other words, the perspective
proposed here can help us to reveal how the conceptual structure is embodied. In this paper we present, discuss and exemplify the relationship between language, cognition and embodiment in order to answer that challenge.
