I'm sure you're right, Eva. But I had always thought that to be a
necessary implication of the theory itself. We each have our own unique
and somewhat idiosyncratic trajectories. I like Gunther Kress's (1997)
point that, in making meaning with and through signs of various kinds,
people - old as well as young - act out of their current interest and put
to use in sign-making whatever is to hand.
