Symbiosism, Symbiomism and the Leiden definition of the meme

'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.' 'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.' 'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master — that's all.' Symbiosism is a Darwinian model of language and its emergence. Symbiosism is a variety of Symbiotic Theory, which treats linguistic forms as vehicles for the reproduction of meaningful elements in the hominid brain. The symbiotic view transcends the obsolete discord between the functionalist or European structuralist conception of language , whereby linguistic forms are seen as instruments used to convey meaningful elements , and the formalist or generative approach, whereby linguistic forms are treated as abstract structures which can be filled with meaningful elements. Symbiotic Theory shows naming and syntax to be two faces of the same phenomenon. Syntax arose from meaning. The first primaeval holistic utterances with a meaning in the linguistic sense inherently constituted a projection of reality with a temporal dimension. First-order predication arose when such a holistic utterance was split. This point of view was argued by Pierre de Maupertuis (1756, III: 444) and Hugo Schuchardt (1919a, 1919b) and contrasts with the naïve view that syntax arose from the concatenation of labels or names. The splitting of a signal for 'The baby has fallen out of the tree' could have yielded meanings such as 'That which has fallen out of the tree is our baby' and 'What the baby has done is to fall out of the tree'. Mária Ujhelyi (1998) has considered long-call structures in apes in this regard. Moreover, Symbiotic Theory operates not on the Oxonian conception of a meme as a 'unit of imitation', but on the Leiden definition of memes as isofunctional neuroana-tomical units corresponding to linguistic signs in the Saussurean sense, corresponding to single morphemes or monomorphemic words. The neuronal correlate of a meaning along with the neuronal representation of its associated phonological form or grammatical manifestation is a meme, whereas in Leiden school terminology a unit of imitation is a mime. The symbiotic model of the human mind is based on an understanding of lan
