Helmut, List,

One of the things that a pragmatist has semiotics for is to keep clear about the distinctive roles 
of objects, sign, and interpretants in a given context of discussion or ongoing frame of reference. 
      From a relational point of view we know that the roles are distinct, relatively speaking, even 
when the things that fill these roles may be same, absolutely or ontologically speaking.  In the 
present context phrases and clauses like “Giver of B to C”, “A is a giver of B to C”, and “A gives B 
to C” serve in the roles of signs and interpretant signs that we use to denote the objects of our 
current interest, namely, formal, logical, or mathematical relations.  The “logic of relative terms” 
is the phrase we use to indicate a focus on the signy side of the street and the “mathematics of 
relations” is the phrase we use to emphasize the objects of discussion and thought, but the two go 
together like horse and carriage, as the saying goes.
