The aim of this article is to shed light on how sensory perceptions are communicated through authentic language. What are the language resources available to match multimodal perceptions, and how do we use them in real communication? We discuss insights from previous work on the topic of the interaction of perception, cognition, and language and explain how language users recontextualise perception in communication about sensory experiences. Within the framework of cognitive semantics, we show that the complexities of multimodal perception are clearly reflected in the multifunctional use of words to convey meanings and feelings. To showcase the language resources employed, we base our findings on research on how architects convey their perceptions of built space. Two main patterns emerge: they use multimodal expressions (, , and ) and descriptions of built space through motion (, or routes and directions such as , , , or in combination with verbs such as and ) in which case the architect may either be the observer or the emerged actor. The important take-home message is that there is no neat and clear a priori link between words and meanings, but rather "unforeseen" patterns surface in natural production data describing sensory perceptions.
本文旨在阐明感官认知是如何通过真实语言进行传达的。有哪些语言资源可用于匹配多模态认知，以及我们如何在实际交流中运用这些资源？我们讨论了先前关于感知、认知和语言相互作用这一主题的研究见解，并解释了语言使用者在关于感官体验的交流中如何重新构建认知。在认知语义学的框架内，我们表明多模态感知的复杂性在词汇传达意义和情感的多功能使用中得到了清晰体现。为了展示所使用的语言资源，我们的研究结果基于对建筑师如何传达他们对建成空间的认知的研究。出现了两种主要模式：他们使用多模态表达（……）以及通过运动对建成空间进行描述（……或诸如……、……、……、……的路线和方向，并与诸如……和……的动词结合使用），在这种情况下，建筑师既可以是观察者，也可以是呈现出的行动者。重要的是要明白，词汇与意义之间不存在整齐清晰的先验联系，而是在描述感官认知的自然生成数据中出现了“意想不到”的模式。
