Hi Mervyn--

Thanks for the citations.  RB's discussion on these pages mainly concerns
theory/practice inconsistencies, which is important, but obviously does not
exhaust the issue of how meaning and thought are entwined in behavior.  On
this score, actually, Foucault has some interesting things to say.  But I'll
save that discussion for another day I think.

The article is "Signs, Social Ontology, and Critical Realism," Journal for
the Theory of Social Behaviour 28.1 (1998): 1-24.  I've rethought a couple
of minor points, and found one embarrassing but basically inconsequential
blooper, but on the whole I still think the argument is sound, and naturally
it's incumbent upon me to encourage the world to read it!  But I have to
hold onto the few offprints I have left, sorry.  If you do read it, I'll be
interested in your remarks.

Cheers, T.
