[Xmca-l] concepts and Concept Creep

I have looked (fruitlessly) through the archives for references to
Australian psychologist Nick Haslam's term, concept creep.

Can anybody point me to a discussion - preferably Vygotskian in nature - of
"concept creep"?  I imagine the term would be discussed in relation to
concept-development (and the role of social pressures on word-meaning).

Thank you in advance.

The term is elaborated nicely in this interesting and provocative article
from Gurwinder Bhogal:

Thanks again,

Anthony
