Words in themselves, as objects, are not semiosic. When words are used within a relational interaction (with the self, with others) and are thus in a triadic relation (object- representamen-interpretant) ..then, that word is a Sign, and is semiosic. Edwina - Original Message -

Bev - sorry, I don't see that any grammar, including English, exerts any 'tyranny'. It's a basic infrastructure for assisting in defining the role of the word/sound - whether it should function as a noun, verb, etc etc. Infrastructure is akin to Peircean Thirdness after all. Edwina -
