ABSTRACT
In this chapter, language and its connection to cognition and the principles of embodied cognition are explored. The notions of private memories, sensory simulations, the simulation of others’ minds, and how meaning-making is explained from the perspective of reading as a skill are all considered. Several of the observations that are drawn on in these discussions are based on examples that have emerged from the experimental drawing data presented in the previous chapter. A short provisional discussion is also conducted here that points forward to the next chapter. In this short discussion, a case for transliminal readers is presented in order to demonstrate that aspects like historicity, the manifold processes in the moment, and skill-learning in meaning-making activities, such as reading, are valuable concepts when addressing readers’ interpretations.
