You may find it interesting to make google searches with mimology, 
mimologie.

That kind of theory is obviously not following the usual arbitrariness of 
the signs as taught by std Saussurean linguistics.
But it does exist.
For example:
Mimologics by Gérard Genette
Bohas's theories which we have already mentioned before also use that word.
