“…But the activation of modal representations seems to participate in language processing more than expected in a system formed by purely amodal symbols (e.g., Binder, Westbury, McKiernan, Possing, & Medler, 2005;Hauk, Johnsrude, & Pulvermüller, 2004;Zwaan & Yaxley, 2003;Nastase & Haxby, 2017;Davis & Yee, 2021;Vergallito, Petilli, Cattaneo, & Marelli, 2019).
