Abstract
感官(senses)是认知的基础.不论是希腊心智哲学的感质(qualia)或是当代的具身认知(embodied cognition)理论,都认为人类心智与认知,是建立在经由感官与外界互动中得到的信息的基础上.而在大语言模型(LLM)与方兴未艾的人工智能议题中,具身人工智能(embodied AI)成为人工智能与人类智能匹敌的最后挑战.

感官词汇是感知信息概念化的结果,具身认知的语言模型 .哲学与脑神经认知科学对感官词汇都都有广泛的研究,倒是语言学,特别是汉语语言学,直到最近才对感官与语言的互动有较深入的关注.这个报告将针对这个前沿研究的现况与前景,集中在三个重要议题:1)联觉(synesthesia) 2) (词汇的)感官强度与感官运动常模(modality exclusivity and sensorimotor norms),与3)具身度(degrees of embodiment).这些研究再次确认感官词汇是感官信息概念化与系统化表达最原始资料,更凸显了汉语词汇语义学研究的科际整合特性与解释力.
