An objection to the memetic approach to culture Memetics is one possible evolutionary approach to the study of culture. Boyd and Richerson's models (1985, Boyd this volume), or my epidemiology of representations (1985, 1996), are among other possible evolutionary approaches inspired in various ways by Darwin. The memetic approach is based on the claim that culture is made of memes. If one takes...
متن کاملDeirdre Wilson and Robyn Carston Metaphor and the ‘emergent Property’ Problem: a Relevance-theoretic Treatment
The interpretation of metaphorical utterances often results in the attribution of emergent properties; these are properties which are neither standardly associated with the individual constituents of the utterance in isolation nor derivable by standard rules of semantic composition.

First, I argue that some understanding that other people have mental states which can be affected by communication is present already in infancy. I show that this early sensitivity to intentionality is responsible for early c...
