Kronenfeld Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Members of a cultural community share the system but not all of the systems content, making culture a system of parallel distributed cognition. This book presents a theoretically motivated approach to pragmatics (vs semantics) that produces a radically new view of culture and its role vis-a-vis society. Publisher Description This theoretically motivated approach to pragmatics (vs. semantics) produces a radically new view of culture and its role vis-a-vis society. Understanding what words mean in use requires an open-ended recourse to pragmatic cultural knowledge. Cultural knowledge makes up a productive conceptual system. Members of a cultural community share the system but not all of the systems content, making culture a system of parallel distributed cognition. This book presents such a system, and then elaborates a version of "cultural models" that relates actions to goals, values, emotional content, and context, and that allows both systematic generative capacity and systematic variation across cultural and subcultural groups. Such models are offered as the basic units of cultural action. Culture thus conceived is shown as a tool that people use rather than as something deeply internalized in their psyches.
