Embodied Words. Voice and motility at the origin of debate of aphasia

In the past fifty years the condition of the language sciences has changed profoundly. The cognitive sciences and the theory of embodied cognition give back to the debate themes neglected by the reflection on the language between the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries. Specifically, it is a question of taking up the discourse opened by the glorious philosophy of the language and mind of the enlightenment, in particular French. This is the field of studies that, for example, has focused on the relationship between the ontogenesis of language, corporeality, motor action and listening. It thus contributed to the birth of neuropsychology, particularly regarding the idea that aphasia affects language as an action and not as a reason.
