        Subject: Re: [Humanist] 33.466: an ontology for glossematics?

Dear Paolo (and group),

I don’t have a direct answer to your question about a Hjelmslevian ontology, but
an ontology of palaeography including concepts such as allograph, grapheme, etc.
is something I’m developing as well, so we clearly need to talk! I’ll continue
the discussion off-list, but I’d be more than happy to include anyone else who
is interested (or of course we can discuss on-list if preferred).

Best wishes,

Peter
