“…In some cases it is not difficult to characterize the psychological state being expressed in such behaviors, and we have a good handle on what it is to express anger, fear, joy, or disgust. In yet other cases our best way of indicating the state being expressed is with the preface, 'a sense of,' as in 'a sense of power laid waste,' (Wollheim 1968) or 'a sense of crisis,' (Leibowitz 1991), or 'a sense of a situation's absurdity' (Green 2017a).…”

This essay ties together some main strands of the author’s research spanning the last quarter-century. Because of its broad scope and space limitations, he prescinds from detailed arguments and instead intuitively motivates the general points which are supported more fully in other publications to which he provides references. After an initial delineation of several distinct notions of meaning (Section 1), the author considers (Section 2) such a notion deriving from the evolutionary biology of communication that he terms ‘organic meaning’, and places it in the context of evolutionary game theory. That provides a framework for a special type of organic meaning found in the phenomenon of expression (3), of which the author here offers an updated characterization while highlighting its wide philosophical interest. Expression in turn generalizes to a paradigmatic form of human communication—conversation—and section 4 provides a taxonomy of conversation-types while arguing that attention to such types helps to sharpen predictions of what speakers say rather than conversationally implicate. We close (5) with a view of fictional discourse on which authors of fictional works are engaged in conversation with their readers, and can provide them with knowledge in spite of the fictional character of their conversation. Such knowledge includes knowledge of how an emotion feels and is thus a route to empathy.

Namely the presence of color in cartoons significantly increases the visual attraction that is important especially for a young audience.…”
