[peirce-l] Re: Collier on Pragmatics

[Clark Goble]

One last point.  I think a final place where Derrida follows Peirce  
although he doesn't formally acknowledge the connection (unlike the  
Scotus like Grammatology) is over tone.  Most considerations focus  
purely on the type-token relationship.  Peirce famously invokes his  
trichotomy and has a type-token-tone divide.  Tone is almost always  
ignored in philosophy of language.  A lot of what Derrida does during  
his demonstrative phase (roughly 1973 through the 80's) is to  
emphasize how tone becomes important, nearly as important to the  
relationship as the type and the token.
