Joe, Frances, and List, Joseph Ransdell wrote: Perhaps because at one point several years ago I studied rather intensely for a few weeks some of Frances's work and consequently go rather familiar with her admittedly idiosyncratic terminology, I am having none of this difficulty whatsoever. Indeed, I find her thinking quite clear and, as earlier mentioned, persuasive--that is, for one who is not totally turned off and revulsed by her strange locutions. I will, however, await Ben's response to Frances to comment much further regarding the substantive issues. Well, I would tend to disagree with you as to the sign/representamen distinction being merely that "between a vernacular term and a technical term" as my recent response to Theresa Calvet may have suggested. I would agree with you, Joe, that Frances ought continue to consider the terminology she uses, although is not meant to suggest that I necessarily approve of all your recommendations to her. However, that's a matter for her to reflect upon, and I believe I have now said all that I care to say on the matter. More when Ben posts a response to Frances (which, again, seems quite likely, while I understand that he shares some of your consternation, Joe, with Frances's locution).
