ABSTRACT
The ‘Anthropomorphic Model’ of human beings is the heart of what we take to be the most radical proposal of discursive psychology. We should treat human beings, for scientific purposes, as if they were people, as we know and understand them in everyday life. Thus we shall find the source of our model in contemporary ideas about the nature of a person, which are rooted in the way that concept functions in the grammar of our language, and in the forms and systems of our commonest thoughts.
