Proprioception in the Modern Dance and Its Linguistic Realisation: A Cognitive Approach

Summary/Abstract: The present paper focuses on the proprioception and its relation to linguistic actions. The main objective of our analysis is to establish a set of phrasal units which refer to strictly specified components of the proprioceptive sense and help to develop the proprioceptive awareness. The presented analysis of linguistic material relates to a very specific communicative situation – a modern dance workshop. Thus, our starting point are linguistic actions of dance teachers, which are supposed to enhance the development of the proprioceptive abilities in participants of the modern dance workshops. Therefore, we assume that the “proprioceptive information” is composed of two elements: (motor) presentation of a given movement, and linguistic instructions given by the dance teacher, who describes the movement schemas by means of figurative language. Thus, the following questions are of interest: Are there any correlations between the specified proprioceptive components and their descriptions? Are the proprioceptive components described in a systematic way with the help of figurative language?
