Abstract :

Looking at the history of human thought, it will be observed that serious obstacles, including ontological, epistemological, ethical and religious, have removed attention to the body and its real place from the agenda of thinkers. This is while in contemporary thought, the body is no longer an obstacle to thought and consciousness, instead, the corporeality of the mind, cognition and language is emphasized. In this way, we witness attention to the body and its place in various fields. The present article, using a descriptive-analytical method, seeks to provide a deep understanding of the discussion of the corporeality of language in the context of a phenomenological and epistemological understanding of the concept of corporeality and finally to show that the experiences resulting from the physical presence of humans in the world are in the form of repetitive and dynamic patterns and lead to conceptualization through mental functions and are represented in language. Therefore, human conceptual systems have evolved based on the support of physical activity in the environment, and such physical activities are fundamental to knowing and making the world meaningful.
