Questions:
1. Connectionist accounts of language accord with the general idea
of "the arbitrariness of the sign". Do the dynamics
ideas, particularly those in spatial
systems,
offer any possibilities for thinking about these?
2. How could patterns and emotional states be linked?
Are there universals? Why should there be, or not be?
How could culture influence such
linkages?
3. How might body states related to behavior be thought
about
in dynamics terms? Think about abstract states like
stress, autonomic system arousal levels
as well as specifics like postures.
