| Résumé : | The movements of robots impact the way we perceive these machines and the way we talk about them. Commonly, the human brain tends to attribute intentions to moving objects, and we describe robots as wanting to go right or left, making decisions, being intelligent, autonomous, etc. In contrast, could these words used to talk about robots influence our representation of robots? Does natural language impact the way human perceive moving machines? In this paper, I firstly review some of the general principles that describe the influence of language on cognition. Secondly, I propose to consider the bond between the perception of movement and natural language from a linguistic point of view. That means to observe what - within language itself - can explain the specific way in which humans translate their perception of movement into words. I support the idea that movement raises a problem of ineffability (i.e. that motion resists linguistic coding), and that this linguistic problem has an impact on robotics as a discipline. |
