It thus offers an alternative to currently popular linguistic models of intentionality, whose inadequacies are examined: the goal should… read more[Advances in Consciousness Research, 10] 1996. x, 211 pp.

The theory has been offered to explain the use of bodily terminology in nonphysical contexts, and to… read more
