Semeiotics has three parts: Speculative Grammar, which studies the essential nature of the different kinds of signs; Critic, which studies the general conditions of their relations to their objects; and Methodeutic, which studies the general conditions of their fulfilling their purposes.

Effort, or exertion, is a polarized awareness in which the active part has called up a contrary resisting part. It is almost instantaneous and is only kept up by constant repetitions.

Semeiotics has three parts: Speculative Grammar, which studies the essential nature of the different kinds of signs; Critic, which studies the general conditions of their relations to their objects; and Methodeutic, which studies the general conditions of their fulfilling their purposes.

Logic is […] synonymous with semeiotic, the pure theory of signs in general. Its first part, speculative grammar, corresponding to stecheology (Elementarlehre), classifies and describes signs.
