Claudio, Jim and others
I have a little game to suggest to everybody on the list who has some time
to devote to it. Fortunately, it is related to a question of wines.
In French language we have a phrase "Appellation d'Origine Controlee"
(A.O.C.) to characterize at the same time the name, the origin and the
level of certification of a bottle of wine. It seems that in English the
phrasing would have to be "Protected Designation of Origin" (P.D.O.). I am
sure that Claudio knows how to say that in his mother tongue.
I will suppose that anyone of the acronyms is a sign. The question is :
among the three elements of this sign (either A,O,C or P,D,O) which of
them is the First, the Second and which is the Third?
Hoping that you will find that the question is worth answering.

Dear Bernard,
You mean who's on First? Well, per my most recent take on this issue I'd
say that, first of all, it all depends on what you mean by First. The sign
it seems is the universal conceptual tool -- if it can be thought, the
sign can accommodate it.
Ah, yes ---and that too!
Best wishes,
Jim Piat
