Abstract
It should be stated from the outset that there will be no attempt, on my part, to actually frame a theory of cognitive psychosemiotics. Such an activity would be, in my opinion, premature. On the other hand, there is no reason why I cannot argue that such a theory would be useful to both fields, and should eventually be formulated. This will be my task, then; to argue that such a theory should eventually exist.
