Myths and urban legends shape how we understand the causes of illnesses like colds, pneumonia, and flu and how they spread.
Word choice can help keep such myths in circulation. English corpus data shows how polysemy reinforces myths and mythbusting about catching a cold. Folklore can evoke monstrous causes for disease, e.g., witches spreading plague (Brooks) or vampires bringing porphyria and tuberculosis (Lane; Ponti).

In reply to DaveHK: Just skimmed over the thread, so my apologies if this has been posted below and I missed it: So if I remember correctly from my university maths ages ago the whole thing is a generalized claim about properties of two steady functions f(x) and g(x) that is obvious for the simple case R -> R case: If within some interval of x f(x) rises from A to B and g(x) drops from B to A, their graphs must cross at some point if neither fuctions is allowed to do sudden jumps.
The most intuitive physical equivalent is that you can stabilize any four legged table that stands on uneven ground with one leg in the air by simply rotating it around its centre (the table top may not end up horizontal, of course). Corela - Cognition, représentation, langage. Why Chomsky was Wrong About Corpus Linguistics – corp.ling.stats. Introduction When the entire premise of your methodology is publicly challenged by one of the most pre-eminent figures in an overarching discipline, it seems wise to have a defence.
Noam Chomsky’s famous objection to corpus linguistics therefore needs a serious response. “One of the big insights of the scientific revolution, of modern science, at least since the seventeenth century… is that arrangement of data isn’t going to get you anywhere. You have to ask probing questions of nature. That’s what is called experimentation, and then you may get some answers that mean something. LINGUIST List 32.2901: Calls: Ling & Literature/France.

Language and cognition. Abstract What is the role of language in cognition?
Do we think with words, or do we use words to communicate made-up decisions? The paper briefly reviews ideas in this area since 1950s. Then we discuss mechanisms of cognition, recent neuroscience experiments, and corresponding mathematical models. Discourse Representation Theory. 1.
Introduction This article concerns Discourse Representation Theory narrowly defined as work in the tradition descending from Kamp (1981).

The central principle of gestalt psychology is that the mind forms a global whole with self-organizing tendencies. This principle maintains that the human mind considers objects in their entirety before, or in parallel with, perception of their individual parts; suggesting the whole is other than the sum of its parts. Gestalt psychology tries to understand the laws of our ability to acquire and maintain meaningful perceptions in an apparently chaotic world. Image.
