That is interesting. I have never thought of such a distintcion. Given
that the dicotomic description of the sign is common to Saussure and
Hjelmslev, I always that Hjelmslev was closer to Saussure than Peirce.

There is a nice discussion about 'binarism x triadism' in language
studies, on the article "Semiotics and Literary Studies", by Floyd
Merrel. It is possible to find it online at

the letter "L")
