"A theory of computer semiotics" by Peter Bogh Andersen is sitting on my shelf waiting to be read. If you have not already read it you definitely need to read "Metaphors we live by" by Lakoff and Johnson. People seem to be raving about "The way we think" by Fauconnier and Turner, but I would not rate it (I suspect I missed lots of subtleties). derek -- Derek M Jones tel: +44 (0) 1252 520 667 Knowledge Software Ltd mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Applications Standards Conformance Testing http://www.knosof.co.uk ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PPIG Discuss List ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Discuss admin: http://limitlessmail.net/mailman/listinfo/discuss Announce admin: http://limitlessmail.net/mailman/listinfo/announce PPIG Discuss archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40ppig.org/
