On the Mechanisms of Grammatical Implementation of the Euphemistic Meaning
RUDN Journal of Language Studies, Semiotics and SemanticsThe relevance of the work has been determined by the necessity to study the features of derivative transformations that do not correspond to the ritually expected grammatical mechanisms (grammar mistakes (inconsistency)) of the euphemism explication in ...

The evolutionary psychology of the human pointing gesture
Mind &Language, EarlyView.The human pointing gesture is a species‐unique and species‐universal form of communication that depends on humans' especially powerful forms of cooperative cognition and motivation. I have previously hypothesized that the pointing gesture evolved as a behavioral tool empowering individuals to better coordinate their interdependent collaborative ...

Advocacy and the function of folk psychology
Mind &Language, EarlyView.Why do we care about getting mental state attributions right? A common answer is that folk psychology is a proto‐scientific theory that allows us to predict and explain the behavior of physical systems. I argue that this position is inconsistent with one of the central practices in which attribution of desire occurs: to advocate for our interests and ...

Mind &Language, EarlyView.Attentional guidance plays two crucial roles in temporally extended agency. First, guidance stabilizes attention onto our tasks—and tunes out distractions—for extended periods of time. Second, guidance makes attention telic/atelic. Guidance imposes completion conditions on telic attention (e.g., searching for your keys) but not atelic attention (e.g ...

Deep dialogism, inner voices, and mental health
Mind &Language, EarlyView.The idea that cognition involves dialogic interchange between mutually influencing “voices” has long featured in psychology and philosophy. While dialogic structure is most explicit in inner speech, some authors have argued that other types of mental activity can be (or always are) dialogic. We introduce two dimensions of dialogism, strength and depth,

Ostensive communication evolved out of evolutionary adaptations to the challenges and opportunities created by the evolutionary scenario of the meeting of ...

Inferential communication: The primacy of external representations
Mind &Language, EarlyView.We argue that intentionalist accounts of ostensive‐inferential communication fail to adequately explain the role of external representations in human communication. We propose that the contents of a specific form of representational communication, symbolic depictions via spatio‐temporal arrangements of objects, can be inferred without attributing ...
