    "abstract": "Contemporary dynamic theories of cognition and functional theories of linguistics fall into two general camps: \"traditional\" and \"emergent\" approaches. Building on work of the linguist Paul Hopper, I identify four characteristics of emergent phenomena: feedback  properties; sociohistorical embeddedness; language and language-like \"structures\"; and what I call \"recursivity,\" the feedback-based presence of system-analytic elements within the cognitive systems they seem to explain. This latter feature, especially, raises questions about whether \"emergence\" is a phenomenon, a theory, an approach, etc. I suggest that emergence offers at least a refreshingly ordinary framework for theories of empirical cognition, which nevertheless flow to the \"deep\" levels claimed by rule-based cognitive  explanations.",
