I 25
Exemplification and expression/Goodman: exemplification and expression point in the same direction, which is exactly opposite to the denotation (name). (Denotation belongs more to saying and writing).
>Denotation.
I 60
For the direct quote both are important: naming and including.
Each expression is a paraphrase of itself.

III 55ff
Definition "expressions"/Goodman: expressions are here the first reference to a sense or another property. Not to their presence! One can also express emotions that one does not have. Expression: an expression is e.g. a feeling. Representation: a representation is an object or event.
III 58
The gray image, does not denote the color gray, but is denoted by the predicate "gray".
III 59
Not every exemplification is expression but each expression is exemplification.
III 60
Definition exemplification: exemplification is ownership plus reference. (The ostension is missing reference.) >Reference.
III 61
A figure which exemplifies the triangularity, exemplifies not always a "three sided-ness"! Although it is three-sided. Also language dependent: "rouge" does not exemplify "red"!
III 88
Definition what is expressed: what is expressed, is exemplified metaphorically.
>Metaphors.
III 92
While almost everything can denote almost everything else or even represent, a thing can only express what belongs to it, but not what originally belonged to it (e.g. glue factory). Ultimately, it is a matter of habit.
>Representation.
III 94
Name a feature and express it are two different things. And a poem or a story does not need to express what he/she says, or to say what it expresses.
III 94
Def exemplification: exemplification relates the symbol to a description, which it denotes.
>Descriptions, >Symbols.
III 96
Def expression: the expression relates the symbol to a description which it denotes metaphorically and by that not only indirectly on the metaphorical but also onto the literal area of this label.
Conclusion: when a expresses b then:
1. a owns b or is denoted by it,
2. this possession or this denotation is metaphorical,
3. a refers to b.
