The present theoretical study aims to unify semiotics, cognitive linguistics and neuroscience in a new field of research called Agentive Cognitive Construction Grammar. The tenets of this theory are (i) the idea that linguistic constructions possess a triadic structure (iconic, indexical and symbolic) allowing speakers to reconstruct reality, and (ii) that these constructions arise from the interactions between signals from the inner body and the environment. In this framework, the influence of embodied cognition on language would therefore be the result of sensory input from the body (translated by the brain into concepts with traces of physical routines) and the need of speakers to reduce the influence of uncertainty during the construction of meaning.
