It discusses issues about epistemology, embodiment, perception, and linguistics. The objective is to reveal how the human ability to adapt to the environment and interact with it can explain our linguistic representation of the world as constrained by our body and sensory perception. The study of sensory domains supported by body perception highlights core mechanisms employed to acquire knowledge of reality through various processes, both experiential and linguistic. The following chapters deploy philosophical, scientific, and linguistic perspectives through theoretical and practical analyses, which, together, present an intertwined description of the linguistic process involved in expressing sensory perceptions and sensory representations.

Abstract
It discusses issues about epistemology, embodiment, perception, and linguistics. The objective is to reveal how the human ability to adapt to the environment and interact with it can explain our linguistic representation of the world as constrained by our body and sensory perception. The study of sensory domains supported by body perception highlights core mechanisms employed to acquire knowledge of reality through various processes, both experiential and linguistic. The following chapters deploy philosophical, scientific, and linguistic perspectives through theoretical and practical analyses, which, together, present an intertwined description of the linguistic process involved in expressing sensory perceptions and sensory representations.
