Mimicry in Natural Language
This is not a paper about mime or vocal impersonation; this is a paper about metaphor. In particular, it is about the metaphors linguists use in talking about language. I will try to characterize some of the axioms which underlie the metaphor systems of much of modern linguistics, which I will call ‘Physical Metaphors’ for reasons which will become clear shortly, and will provide some different...
متن کاملAntigenic mimicry, clonal selection and autoimmunity.
The triggering of autoimmunity by infection or immunization is often blamed on antigenic mimicry. But the concept of antigen mimicry impinges on our understanding of adaptive immunity in general, and not only on autoimmunity. Here are some thoughts about the consequences of immune mimicry.
متن کاملA Polymorphic p53 Response Element in KIT Ligand Influences Cancer Risk and Has Undergone Natural Selection
The ability of p53 to regulate transcription is crucial for tumor suppression and implies that inherited polymorphisms in functional p53-binding sites could influence cancer. Here, we identify a polymorphic p53 responsive element and demonstrate its influence on cancer risk using genome-wide data sets of cancer susceptibility loci, genetic variation, p53 occupancy, and p53-binding sites. We unc...
متن کاملSustainable Services: The Natural Mimicry Approach
Environmental issues have become an integral factor in any decision-making process and in the design and implementation of manufacturing and agricultural production systems. As the service sector continuously grows in size and importance and service systems become more comprehensive, complex, and interdisciplinary, the creation of new services should be imbued with sustainability as the primary...
متن کاملNatural Language and Natural Selection
Many people have argued that the evolution of the human language faculty cannot be explained by Darwinian natural selection. Chomsky and Gould have suggested that language may have evolved as the by-product of selection for other abilities or as a consequence of as-yet unknown laws of growth and form. Others have argued that a biological specialization for grammar is incompatible with every ten...
