Edwina, List: I referenced EP2:481-490, not just EP2:482. Page 483 introduces "The Ten Main Trichotomies of Signs," and the first three are explained in some detail through page 489; the other seven are only given as sets of three terms on pp. 489-490, which presumably correspond to Firstness, Secondness, Thirdness. Here is the entire list.
1. Mode of Presentation of the Sign - Potisign, Actisign, Famisign. 2. Mode of Presentation of the (Immediate) Object - Descriptive, Designative, Copulant. 3. Nature of the Dynamic Object - Abstractive, Concretive, Collective. 4. Relation of the Sign to Its Object - Icon, Index, Symbol. 5. Nature of the Immediate Interpretant - Hypothetic, Categorical, Relative. 6. Nature of the Dynamic Interpretant - Sympathetic/Congruentive, Shocking/Percussive, Usual. 7. Manner of Appeal to the Dynamic Interpretant - Suggestive, Imperative, Indicative. 8. Purpose of the Eventual (Final) Interpretant - Gratific, To produce action, To produce self-control. 9. Nature of the Influence of the Sign - Seme, Pheme, Delome. 10. Nature of the Assurance of the Utterance - Instinct, Experience, Form. Based on the bare list that you referenced, #7 is the relation of the sign to its dynamic interpretant, #9 is the relation of the sign to its final interpretant, and #10 is the triadic relation of the sign to its dynamic object and final interpretant. #5, #6, and #8 are the three interpretants, each of which is indeed divided into a trichotomy by Peirce. What I am seeking is the proper order of determination for these three; the order given here is categorial. Regards, Jon
