Re: [PEIRCE-L] Irony and style in CSP (Was: Peirce's adjectives...)

One my favourite Peircean turns of phrases (probably also one of the most 
obvious) will always be 'in some respect or capacity'. Pierce uses it rather 
frequently, notably in some famous definitions of the sign (and the notion of 
the 'Ground'). It's probably a result of his reading of Scholastics like Duns 
Scotus.

take care,

Subject: [PEIRCE-L] Irony and style in CSP (Was: Peirce's adjectives...)

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
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.
