I've just been writing a piece in my web-diary in which I (not
terribly seriously) try to explain my near-religious devotion to
Juliette Binoche in semiotic terms. The basic idea is of a
Peircean Icon (e.g. an image of JB) sparking off "unlimited
semiosis", or of the same thing being a "connotative sign" a la
Barthes. I started thinking about the question in Lojbanic terms
and ran up against the problem that I can't, if I understand the
Book correctly, say {la ka biNOC.}, since the word immediately
following {la} has to be a cmene, so it would be read as a
reference to someone called "Cabinoche". Is there a simple way
to say "Binocheness" other than {tu'a la biNOC.}, which is too
vague for what I had in mind?

co'o mi'e robin.
