Biological Metaphor and Cladistic Classification: Interdisciplinary Perspective (Open linguistics series) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The dynamic aspect of biological systems—the birth, growth, and death of individual organisms, the evolution of one form into another over time—has formed the basis for metaphors used in many fields for both artistic and heuristic purposes. Cladistic classification uses a tree whose branch points are based on the possession of derived or relatively recent characteristics, rather than primitive ones.
