    Those are really excellent questions with which to define memes. My own
    opinion, which seems to be somewhat controversial, would be "yes" to all the
    above. My background is also in linguistics and includes teaching ESL.
    Have you checked out www.memecentral.com? It leads to a lot of sources. If
    you would like to discuss the subject outside of the forum (to avoid
    repetitious statements about subjects that have already been covered)
    contact me at grantc4@hotmail.com
