Jon S, Edwina, List,
I accept the claim that the sign is the first correlate of a genuinely triadic relation with respect to its object and interpretant. Having said that, some signs have the character of necessitants. These include legisigns, symbols, arguments. For signs that have these three characteristics, do they have the internal structure of a triadic relation connecting its parts? I think the answer is "yes". As such, some signs consist of triadic relations--even if they are the first correlate of a further triadic relation.

Edwina, List: Yes, I refuse on ethical grounds to deviate from Peirce's own usage of these terms. Again, either a Sign is a Representamen with a mental Interpretant (CP 2.274, EP 2:273 and CP 2.242, EP 2:291; both 1903), or "Sign" and "Representamen" are synonymous (SS 193; 1905). He never--not once--used "Sign" for a triad, since a triad is always a relation, while a Sign is always a correlate.

I am talking about the full TRIAD - not the mediative part, aka, the Representamen, of the Triad. You repeatedly refuse to differentiate between the two and even to acknowledge the vital role of the full semiosic triad. Edwina
