My marginalia on Chapman, p. 70, where she cares to expand or inpand on Grice on Peirce or rather early Grice _contra_ later Peirce.
One is surprised that the early Grice (well, mid-forties Grice) was so _against_ Peircean lovely Grecianisms ('symbol', 'icon') and prefers the blunt Anglo-Saxonism
those spots mean measles
instead. Surely 'semeiologia' is the Greek term here.
Eco's pupil wrote a magisterial book, "Theories of the sign in Classical Antiquity" -- is there another? Pretty verbose but I have reviewed it elsewhere -- CLASSICS-L. It was all about 'semeia' in Herodotus, Hypocrates and Aristotle's physiognomica. What happened then? All you need is Loeb.

Grice would tell his students that 'semeiologia' is a krypto-technic lexeme! And perhaps he would be right!
