Frances to interested members... This is a selection of sign typologies posited by scholarly authors in publications from many different fields of study, and sometimes for reasons that remain obscure or redundant. The list of entries is presented in a rough alphabetical order by surname. The asterisk that appears after any surname indicates a sign theory seemingly supported mainly by angloamerican pragmatism, which is also my preference as the most important philosophic support and sign system. The further motives and structures and approaches to each categorical class are set aside for now, although these things are clearly an important entry in their own right. Perhaps members might offer any corrections and also add any other entries not included.
