Michael, Jon, Edwina, Gary, List, First, I apologize to everybody about my use of "RIP" about anything Peirce wrote. I agree with Edwina that the three-way distinction is important, but I must emphasize that the amount of research in the cognitive sciences during the past century is immense. As the article by Atkin shows, Peirce was unsure of how to continue, there is no consensus among Peirce scholars about how to continue, and Peirce himself was asking Welby for her advice.
I also thank Jon for the link to a chapter of Michael's 1983 book. The link below points to one chapter, but it's possible to use that link to go forwards or backwards to download the entire book. So far, I have only downloaded and read that chapter. And it shows the vast amount of linguistic issues that must be considered. But that chapter is already 41 years old. I'd like to ask Michael for any links to more recent writings, by himself or others, that would show ongoing research on the issues that Peirce began to explore. In summary, I don't want to discourage anybody from studying Peirce's writings. It's important to note that his writings on mathematical logic and semeiotic are fundamental. Many of the points he made are still at the forefront of research in the 21st century. But beyond his three-way distinction about interpretants, his writings on that subject are tentative and incomplete. Michael's 1983 book shows how much more was known in linguistics, and I'd like to ask Michael for some pointers to more recent writings by himself or others on this topic John ______________________ From: "Jon Alan Schmidt" <jonalanschm...@gmail.com> Michael, List: I honestly do not know much about linguistics, but I wonder if this online chapter from your 1983 book, The Sense of Grammar: Language as Semiotic, is still a good summary of your relevant views. https://muse.jhu.edu/pub/3/oa_monograph/chapter/3056317 Regards, Jon Alan Schmidt - Olathe, Kansas, USA
