Concepts and Prototypes

141
The human nervous system handles vast amounts of information by translating sensory stimuli into neural impulses, which the brain processes, creating thoughts expressed through language or stored as memories. The brain also synthesizes information from emotions and memories, which significantly influence thoughts and behaviors. This intricate process creates a comprehensive mental picture.
The brain organizes this information using concepts, which are mental categories grouping linguistic data,...

Nonconscious Mimicry

Framing Effects

7.4K
Information is everywhere and its presentation—such as how and when items are presented—can impact our perceptions and decisions surrounding the info. This broad concept umbrellas framing effects—influences that occur due to the way information is framed in its appearance, whether it’s purely the order or the specific wording of a message. Let’s take a look at numerous ways in which two versions of something can objectively say the same thing, yet we respond in...

Functionalism01:11

Functionalism

528
William James, John Dewey, and Charles Sanders Peirce were instrumental in founding functional psychology, which draws heavily from Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. This theory suggests that individual traits, including behaviors, are adapted to their environments through natural selection. At the heart of functionalism is the concept of adaptation, meaning that a trait enhances an individual's chances of survival and reproduction.
James envisioned psychology's...

Cognitive Theories: Lazarus Mediational Theory of Emotion

837
Richard Lazarus' cognitive mediational theory highlights the pivotal role of cognitive appraisal in shaping emotional responses. According to this theory, the evaluation of a stimulus — based on personal values, goals, beliefs, and expectations — mediates the emotional response. This appraisal process is immediate and often occurs unconsciously, influencing the intensity and nature of the resulting emotion.
Cognitive Appraisal and Emotional Response
Lazarus proposed that...

Schemata01:17

Schemata

80
A schema is a mental construct that organizes related concepts, allowing the brain to process information efficiently. Upon activation, schemata facilitate assumptions about people or objects.
Two types of schemata are:

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

This study defines pragmemes, units of language use, by linking them to societal functions and cultural contexts. Understanding these societal pragmatics can empower oppressed groups by revealing how language maintains the status quo.

Area of Science:

  • Linguistics
  • Sociolinguistics
  • Pragmatics

Background:

  • The concept of pragmemes, introduced by Mey and explored by Capone, remains difficult to define and distinguish from related linguistic concepts like speech acts, language games, and scripts.
  • Existing definitions struggle to capture the full scope of pragmemes in relation to language use and social context.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To clarify the definition and characteristics of pragmemes.
  • To establish pragmemes as instantiations of Jock Wong's triple articulation of language.
  • To explore the role of pragmemes in societal and emancipatory pragmatics.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis and theoretical development.
  • Distinguishing pragmemes from speech acts, language games, macro speech acts, and scripts.
  • Integrating Jock Wong's triple articulation of language to define pragmemes.

Main Results:

  • Pragmemes are defined as language units with phonological-syntactic components, cultural/situational content, and a function (illocutionary force).
  • Pragmemes can modify society, functioning within societal or emancipatory pragmatics.
  • This framework highlights language's role in maintaining or challenging power structures.

Conclusions:

  • Pragmemes are complex units of language use that integrate form, content, and function within specific socio-cultural contexts.
  • Understanding societal pragmatics, through the lens of pragmemes, is crucial for social change and empowerment.
  • The study advocates for recognizing how language use can either uphold or dismantle oppressive societal structures.
