Political animals and indirect speech

Two great papers:

  • Political Animals (NYT), on animal politics
  • The logic of indirect speech by Pinker, Nowak and Lee (cognitive linguistics meet evolutionary game theory !). They propose a "three-part theory of indirect speech, based on the idea that human communication involves a mixture of cooperation and conflict".
