Is there a true poem, a verse with the echo of divine inspiration, that resounds in the memories of this minor ditty, this song of the pubs and this ballad of the streets?  Does ambrosia yet flow in the veins of the one who sings this ode on an amphoric urn?  If there is, and if it does, then it is likely to involve a wholly different order of interpretation, one where the reference to a jug of punch, ostensibly denoting a simple demijohn, is sure to denote an object of much greater significance than its literal denotation can convey, and one where the cryptic imports of its invocations are intended to descant a more figurative, metaphorical, and transcendental sense.

For the sake of shortening future references to the epigraph at the top of this subsection, let the acronym "JOP" be taken as equivalent to the phrase "jug of punch", and let the italicized tag "TJOP" be taken as tantamount to the title "The Jug of Punch".

There are features of this style of abbreviation that need to be noted.  Instead of letting the acronym "JOP" denote the phrase "jug of punch", and rather than letting the italicized acronym "TJOP" denote the title "The Jug of Punch", I am merely asking for the reader to take part in forming an augmented scheme of interpretation, one that adds new signs to a formerly established sign relation, but does it in a way that does nothing of serious consequence to its underlying semantic properties.  This involves the construction of a "semiotic partition" (SEP), along with its corresponding "semiotic equivalence relation" (SER), in which the associated set of "semiotic equivalence classes" (SEC's) serves to stake out a number of parts.  In the present illustration there are two sets of synonyms, constellating a pair of mutually exclusive classes of signs that denote their respective objects in parallel, as in Table 17.
