>Robert J. Tiess writes, responding to my Merrill quote with the (intentionally) brief mention of Saussure: Good point with Saussure, but of equal worth to mention in re lang. & symbol: Pierce, Jung, Levi-Strauss, Campbell, Kristeva, and Chomsky. Also, in reference to the very enticing "all languages poetic" idea, might we go two steps further and declare a state of Panpoesis or Omnipoesis--to say, There is poetry in every -one, -thing, -where? To which I reply: well I suppose we could if we want to be really pedantic and tedious about a very simple point.
