    Hi Darek I don't think that memes have 'process', you need to also look at the subject of 'mimesis'. It is the study of the 'process' of acquiring culture through copying behaviours; linguistics included. Memetics is, in my opinion, a study which gropes for identity at the interface between the worlds of ideas, actions, artefacts and pink unicorns, I'm sure you will enjoy our company. Jeremy
