Helmut, List, Descriptive semiotics is always available for describing whatever manner of free associations and personal connotations might chance to pass through a given interpreter's head or external expressions, but logic conceived as normative semiotics is an inquiry oriented toward more focal aims.

Jon, List, I was thinking of comparing the sentence "C thanks A for B" with a square root: The square root of a positive number has either a positive or a negative result (or is it both?). And, that C is thankful is also only one possibility of result: C might also not like B and reject it, or might not care and not react. Ok, this is not a proper comparison, because the square root delivers only two exact results, and Cs possible feelings about being given a B are on a gradual scale. So I guess, that in poetry and language there is logic too, but a fuzzy logic. When a poet tries to produce something nonlogical, eg. in Dadaism, is this really "extra-logical", or just very very fuzzy? I mean, can there be something unique extra-logical at all?
