Typical examples
A kind of metonymic ICM. Typicality ICMs arise from a typical example of a particular category.
For instance, in some cultures robin and sparrow are typical members of the category bird.
This is because in some parts of the world these birds are very common. In this respect, our environment has consequences for what we judge as good examples of a category. Furthermore, we may evaluate a member of the category bird with respect to a typical example. In this way, typicality effects arise when the typical example stands for the entire category.
