This volume in the Vancouver Studies in Cognitive Science series concerns metarepresentation: the construction and use of representations that represent other representations. Metarepresentations are ubiquitous among human beings, whenever we think or talk about mental states or linguistic acts, or theorize about the mind or language. This volume collects previously unpublished studies on the subject by an interdisciplinary group of contributors, including Daniel Dennett, Alvin Goldman, Keith Lehrer, Leda Cosmides and John Tooby.

This book is about the interrelationship between nature, semiosis, metarepresentation and (self-)consciousness, and the role played by metarepresentation in evolution. Representations must have emerged via self-organization from non-representational systems (found in physics, chemistry and biology). Major steps have been the evolution of molecules, macromolecules, life, and finally cultural and symbolic systems. Representations and signs are therefore parts of a huge, possibly branching «ladder of beings». Metarepresentations - images representing images, language about language and language-use, thoughts about thoughts - constitute a fascinating theme within such diverse areas of research as philosophy, literature, theology, anthropology and history, neuroscience, psychology and linguistics. The contributions to this book reflect this variety of different, but often interrelated perspectives on metarepresentation. They also exemplify the difficulties of a truly interdisciplinary discourse and show how one may start such a discourse in the field of semiotics, understood as a meta-discipline which brings together all scientific enterprises dealing with human mind and human culture.

Eun-Ju Noh’s book provides a close look at linguistic metarepresentation showing how beliefs, utterances, and propositions are represented and how they are inferred. The author explains how metarepresentation works in various types of uses: quotations, negation, echo questions, and conditionals in terms of truth conditions and pragmatic enrichment. Ample examples are provided from the English language. The relevance-theory approach gives room for extralinguistic parameters to be considered, and suggestions are made for further research in cross-linguistic studies and metarepresentation.

Among the entities that can be mentally or linguistically represented are mental and linguistic representations themselves. That is, we can think and talk about speech and thought. This phenomenon is known as metarepresentation. An example is "Authors believe that people read books." In this book François Recanati discusses the structure of metarepresentation from a variety of perspectives. According to him, metarepresentations have a dual structure: their content includes the content of the object-representation (people reading books) as well as the "meta" part (the authors' belief). Rejecting the view that the object representation is mentioned rather than used, Recanati claims that since metarepresentations carry the content of the object representation, they must be about whatever the object representation is about. Metarepresentations are fundamentally transparent because they work by simulating the representation they are about. Topics covered in this wide-ranging work include the analysis of belief reports and talk about fiction, world shifting, opacity and substitutivity, quotation, the relation between direct and indirect discourse, context shifting, semantic pretense, and deference in language and thought.

The Routledge Handbook of Pragmatics provides a state-of-the-art overview of the wide breadth of research in pragmatics. An introductory section outlines a brief history, the main issues and key approaches and perspectives in the field, followed by a thought-provoking introductory chapter on interdisciplinarity by Jacob L. Mey. A further thirty-eight chapters cover both traditional and newer areas of pragmatic research, divided into four sections: Methods and modalities Established fields Pragmatics across disciplines Applications of pragmatic research in today’s world. With accessible, refreshing descriptions and discussions, and with a look towards future directions, this Handbook is an essential resource for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in pragmatics within English language and linguistics and communication studies.

Representing Metarepresentations Is There A Theory Of Mind Module written by Marc J. Egeth and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2007 with categories.
The mental representation of minds, or Theory of Mind (ToM), has been theorized to be produced by a cognitive module specialized for representing mental representations (domain-specific cognition) or, alternatively, to overlap with a broader ability to represent representations (domain-general cognition). Some key evidence for domain-specific cognition is that autistic children fail a test of ToM, the False Belief test (FBT), but pass a test of non-mental representations, the False Photograph test (FPhT). Individuals with a ToM deficit but no other deficit in representing representations would be evidence against the theory that ToM is accomplished using the same processes as representing non-mental representations. However, I argue that because the FBT might require representing multiple levels of representation (what individuals see as well as what they subsequently believe), the FPhT is an insufficient comparison because it only requires representing one level of representation (what photographs show). If there are multiple levels of representation in the FBT, then the pattern of FBT failure with FPhT success could indicate either failure on a more difficult representational test or failure on a mental domain test (because the FBT would be both of these). In order to test whether individuals who fail the FBT but pass the FPhT have general difficulty representing multiple levels of representation (metarepresentations), I compared performance among children and adults on two new tests of non-mental metarepresentations, the real-time and paper-and-pencil Meta Photograph tests (MPhT), both of which involve photographs of photographs. Whereas individuals who passed the FBT performed better on the MPhT than on a control photograph test (the new Strange Blindness test, SBT), individuals who failed the FBT but passed the FPhT performed worse on the MPhT than on the SBT. Thus, the pattern of FBT failure with FPhT success does not necessarily indicate a domain-specific deficit or preclude a domain-general deficit (because the MPhT, failed by these individuals, has no mental content but does require representing [non-mental] metarepresentations). Overall, I argue that domain-general theories of ToM are at least as well supported as domain-specific theories, and that ToM is closely related to representations of non-mental representations and metarepresentations.
