Then, motivated by insight from ecological psychology, we describe a model approximating affordances, by which we mean a language learner`s direct perception of opportunities for action in an environment. We present a preliminary experiment involving mapping between these two representational modalities, and propose that our methodology can become the basis for a cognitively inspired model of grounded language learning."
