Abstract
Open peer commentary on the article “Semiosis as Eigenform and Observation as Recursive Interpretation” by Diana Gasparyan. Abstract: I discuss what it means to comprehend in Gasparyan’s theory that defines language as an eigenform. For that, I raise questions concerning the conditions of mutual understanding of signs, Gasparyan’s pragmatic approach, and her reference to society as a limit of interpretation.
