Abstract

The paper argues that if there is a philosophy of language in Peirce, this is to be sought in his conception of speculative grammar. I reconstruct the evolution of Peirce’s speculative grammar in the period 1894-1906 and I show that while in the 1890s speculative grammar is considered as a theory of the proposition, beginning 1903 Peirce conceives it as a general classification of signs, which also includes a pioneeristic speech act theory
