Lauren,
It certainly is a quiet list, but thank you for your welcome. I also
enjoyed your quote:
“Once the final break is made between reality and language Arguments
generate
their own Force and lay out their own logical Rules.”
from a text I'm not familiar with, yet. Personally, though, I think Percy
is being too nice.
When denotation is taken as some kind of primary connotation, taking the
place of the
object itself, and to which other connotations can then be attached, we
don't have
"arguments" or "rules" but just what I've seen called "cascading
connotations." A flow
of images in what Hegel called "picture-thinking."
This is, however, where I find Percy most interesting.
Thanks,
Tom
