RE: [xmca] Znak and Priznak

["Peg Griffin" <Peg.Griffin@att.net>]

Grice does it more like this: 
Tomatoes as well as squirrels and humans can express "meaning natural." 

Both squirrels and humans also understand the "meaning natural."   I don't
know about other tomatoes.

Tomatoes, though, don't express "meaning non-natural."  
Squirrels?  I don't know about squirrels and the expression of non-natural
meaning; those cute sexy bonobos, though, they do express and understand
meaning non-natural (according to fairly recent work on their "writing" in
the dirt).

A human blush is "meaning natural" but tomatoes and squirrels (and some
humans) may not attend to it or "get it." 
A human's sun-burn is meaning non-natural, too.  But it arises and we work
it out differently than we would a blush.
And humans with different socio-cultural resources may interpret the blush
differently.

Meaning non-natural includes language and other socio-cultural conventional
systems, whether static and limited or generative and creative, explicit,
implied, or inferred via reliance on implicatures.
Grice has written about indexicality clearly within the meaning non-natural
realm but not much related to Pierce's index, I think.
So not sure if any one of this matters to priznak.

So pre-znak is natural line of development, while znak is cultural line?
Naw. My squirrels know when my tomatoes are ripe, darn critters.
