Gary F., List: Again, my point about Speculative Grammar is that it is a branch of Semeiotic, which is coextensive with the Normative Science of logic (in what you have called "the broader sense"). Whether Speculative Grammar as "Formal Semeiotic" is considered prescriptive or descriptive--I happen to think that it is both--is irrelevant to *where *it is situated *within *Peirce's classification of the sciences. It definitely *does not* fall under Phenomenology.
Besides the December 1908 draft letters to Lady Welby, in *Peirce's Speculative Grammar: Logic as Semiotics*, Francesco Bellucci cites two other taxonomies of Signs in Peirce's manuscripts that included Seme/Pheme/Delome--an undated one-page fragment (R 795), which Bellucci considers a "polished and compact version" of that same scheme; and a Logic Notebook entry dated "1906 Aug 31" (R 339:424[285r]), where they replace the crossed-out Rheme/Dicisign/Argument. Interestingly, only a day earlier he had written Term/Sentence/Movement of Thought (R 339:423[284r]; 1906 Aug 30), so this was apparently when he definitively decided that he needed the new words. Are there any *other *taxonomies from 1906 or later that used *different *terms for the division according to the Sign's relation with its Final Interpretant?
