Cassiano, Jon, list
I have been studying style in connection with argument analysis for a
long time. Recognizing textual markers of irony forms a part of the
method I developed in 1990's in my university lectures in Finland.
In 2000's I started a slow read on Kaina Stoicheia (New Elements) in the
P-list. It can be found on the list archives by that title. In the slow
read I describe my method of argument analysis (for complex texts) as I
proceed.
But Gary f found the method too arduous, and the pace of reading to
slow for his taste, and all of a sudden jumped ahead with the text under
study. - Consequently I ended my slow read.
Perhaps Jon Awbrey will help? I hope so even myself.
Regards,
Kirsti Määttänen

Hello fellow listers,
It's been a while I notice Peirce has some great nouns of his own pen,
frequently used in ironic contexts. For instance, besides
pragmaticism, I could mention projaculation in Evolutionary Love, or
maybe the nychtemeron in the article on God's Reality (tough this is
not really Peirce's, it's Gospel's).
But I was wondering, and about adjectives? Do you notice preferred
adjectives in Peirce's vocabulary? He uses First, Second and Third as
adjectives, of course, but I mean real adjectives, or adjectival
expressions. Ironic or not. Maybe other preferred expressions, for
exclamations etc.?
I assume there has been previous discussion on Peirce's style&language
in the list, so excuse me if I am being tautological. But I think the
recurrent expressions a writer uses reveal a lot, especially
adjectives and other seemingly unimportant idiomatic expressions. And
it's always fun to know what others regard as interesting in an
admired writer's style.
So, apart from the more deep stuff, if anyone is willing to share
their preferred Peircean quotes, but in the sense above, I'm an
interested reader.
Best regards to everyone,
cass.
