Quote from ‘Harvard Lectures on Pragmatism: Lecture V’

Term: 
Argument
Quote: 

A representamen is either a rhema, a proposition, or an argument. An argument is a representamen which separately shows what interpretant it is intended to determine. A proposition is a representamen which is not an argument, but which separately indicates what object it is intended to represent. A rhema is a simple representation without such separate parts.
