has participant concretizes process specifically dependent continuant generically dependent continuant material entity concretization-utilization process Instances include any process that brings it about that some specifically dependent continuant begins to stand in a concretization relation to some generically dependent continuant, as well as any process in which someone makes use of a pre-established concretization relation. To be clear, instances do not include using concretizations of words or letters for purposes that do not make use of the concretization relations in which they stand (for example, hanging up a sign in a foreign language as a decoration because one likes the colors, despite having no idea what the sign says). Instances include, but are not limited to, processes that bring about cognitive concretizations. Matthew Diller Process in which some participant utilizes some specifically dependent continuant as a concretization of some generically dependent continuant. S. Clint Dowland Sarah Bost Taking notes on a meeting is an example in which the concretization relation is newly established, since the SDCs that concretize the GDCs come into existence as the notes are written. In contrast, using slides prepared by someone else in order to convey information during a presentation is a case of using a concretization in which the performer neither brings the concretizing SDCs into existence nor is responsible for their standing in the concretization relation to the relevant GDCs. A nonlinguistic example is drawing the logo of one’s favorite brand, in which one creates a pattern that concretizes a GDC that is also concretized by patterns on products of the brand. William R.
