It defines the main management structures, reporting procedures, responsibilities and internal and external project communication processes. Where appropriate the handbook directs the reader to the Consortium Agreement, Dissemination, Communication and Exploitation plan as well as the RDA TIGER Data Management Plan (D1.2) 1. This document will guide the RDA TIGER processes across the consortium over the project period and will be updated and/or revised where needed.

This document outlines communications and marketing materials that will be used during the project lifetime to facilitate RDA TIGER service awareness primarily, but also to support the RDA TIGER individual services.

Taking into consideration the gaps in the literature to date with regard to defining nearnativeness, we evaluated the performance of 10 highly proficient speakers of English on a Self Paced Reading Task, in a replication of a study by . The results suggest that near-nativeness constitutes a crucial factor when it comes to L2 processing strategies, although a conclusive answer cannot be given due to the limitations of our study. We predict however, that in a larger scale study, the behavioural data would indicate the same underlying mechanisms for native and near-native language processing.

From the perspective of grounded cognition, our perception and concepts of the world are deeply connected to our bodily experiences, our tastes, color, texture, shape, and even fear and anger. Against a Cartesian duality, the notion of embodiment denotes a unified, close relation between brain functions and the body. Contrary to the early modal theories rendering that emotions are not separate from cognition, the emergence of embodied cognition posits that our perception and understanding of emotions is closely related to our physical experiences. Recent views in the field of cognitive linguistics, and especially cognitive semantics, place embodiment at the center of importance for "mind" sciences, as language meanings are "embodied" and thus expressed between interlocutors through their bodily experiences . The importance of embodiment and sensory-motor functions is further highlighted in terms of creating a link between high and low cognition, namely perception and language processing and comprehension respectively, as the latter stimulates the motor system (Jirak et al, 2010). Simply put, from the perspective of cognitive science, embodiment is defined as the influence of the body on language and thought, and generally, on the mind .
