Mirror neurons, language, and embodied cognition

Basic mechanisms of the mind, cognition, language, its semantic and emotional mechanisms are modeled using dynamic logic (DL). This cognitively and mathematically motivated model leads to a dual-model hypothesis of language and cognition. This models joint emergence of language and cognition from mirror neuron system.
