TABLE OF CONTENTS sensory-motor controllers (used for walking) may be directly coded in our neural circuitry and be available to other cognitive processes such as language interpretation, and more relevantly may ground the semantic and grammatical structure of the well known linguistic notion (that walking the walk is like talking the talk). (Narayanan, 1997)
As I walked along the Bois de Boulogne with an independent air, you could hear the girls declare, he must be a millionaire.(Music hall song The man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo )
A container truck backs up against the storage depot of a supermarket. It has carried tons of different products at high speed along a motorway network and then at a slower speed through an urban road network to this site. This is state-of-the-art technological man-machine terrestrial transport efficiency. Only one human was involved in moving a large quantity of freight over a long distance quickly. Now a number of humans will be involved with far less efficiency as the truck is unloaded and goods are moved short distances into storage, unpacked, bar-coded and shelved. In developed countries, this on-site transport will be done with the aid of conveyer belts, pallets and fork lifts, but around the world much of this work will still be done, as it has been for thousands of years, by humans lifting things and humping them on their backs or carrying them in their arms.
Next, shoppers do similar transporting activities in reverse as they lift things off...
