Anyhow if my later post to Rolf helped, I hope this even later post does
not obfuscate!

Pete,
Could you explain what a polysemous concept is? Sounds like an oxymoron.
Are
you arguing that all the different senses that are indicated by symbol
LOGOS
in various contexts are all tied together some how? If this is the case
then
you and Rolf are closer together than I had previously thought and also
very
far away from Louw and Nida and Silva and others who use the "symbol, sense
and referent" model and do not support the word:concept model that Rolf is
advocating.
