Joe, Seth,
I thought of a way to say this more succinctly:
It seems to me that this point was already clear to Plato and Aristotle.
Signs can be natural or nurtural. Objects can be natural or nurtural.
But nurtural signs are perfectly capable of denoting natural objects.
What else is there to say? Maybe the quality of "conventionalism",
pro or con, is just too strained -- maybe it is just not all that
useful a concept, depending as it does on us to choose between
the denotative and the connotative dimensions simply in order
to give its application or predication a determinate value.
