This book studies language behaviour in the larger context of
modelling or ganismic behaviour more generally. It starts out from
the basic premise that what is characteristic of organismic
behaviour is that an organism uses its behavioural acts to
accomplish something in its interactions with the world in which it
finds itself. These two features, that an organism has a behav
ioural repertoire and that it deploys specific behavioural acts
from its repertoire in an intentional way, define the agentive
nature of an organism. The study of organismic behaviour, then,
must primarily concern itself with this agentive aspect of an
organism and determine what structures and proces ses underlie
these intentional organismic acts. We should be able to say what
primitive structures and what primitive processes put together in
what ways can give rise to the kinds of behavioural acts an
organism engages in. Any explanation of behaviour that we formulate
in terms of underlying structures and processes must be testable
and must be consonant with the observed pheno menological aspects
of such behaviour."
