Embodiment in Cognitive Translation Studies
Abstract
Various notions of embodiment have been suggested in Cognitive Translation Studies (CTS), but it is unclear how they relate and how they can be reconciled. In this chapter, I discuss three different views on embodiment and suggest the Free Energy Principle (FEP)/Active Inference as a mathematical/empirical research framework to integrate these positions. FEP/Active Inference is agnostic with respect to the embodiment position and can be deployed to underpin the different notions of embodiment.
