Certain theories of cognitive function postulate a neural system for processing meaning, independent of the stimulus input modality. The objective of this thesis work, in line with the embodied cognition domain, was to study functionalities of such a network involved in both sentence and visual scene comprehension. In the literature, a wide network of fronto-temporo-parietal sensorimotor and associative areas are described as being involved in this process, and while there’s a lack of consensus on the amodal nature of this system, extensive research has focused on identifying distributed cortical systems that participate in meaning representations separately in the visual and language modalities. Moreover, the stimuli used are generally les...
