Re: Peirce List • Helmut Raulien

There is a kind of “second cousin” kinship between category markers and grammatical aspects, moods, or tenses.  In several drafts of an earlier comment I experimented with grammatical terms like conjugation, declension, diacritic, inflection, etc.  to explain the function of category markers.  But I eventually decided this laid too much stress on their grammatical aspect and distracted from their main function, which is to focus the relation between formal expressions and formal objects.
