With pleasure. There's a short introduction to semiotics posted on:
http://www.aber.ac.uk/~dgc/semiotic.html
which discusses Saussure's and Peirce's models of sign.
I would also suggest Thomas Sebeok's _Signs: an introduction to semiotics_:
-Sebeok, Thomas; Signs: an introduction to semiotics; University of Toronto
Press, Toronto, Canada, 1994.
Now, there's a writing of Peirce posted on:
http://www.peirce.org/writings/p32.html
called _On a new list of categories_, which talks about signs and his
triadic proposal.
The classic and broader reference would be:
-Peirce, Charles S.; Peirce on signs: writings on semiotic; University of
North Carolina Press, 1991. (edited by James Hoopes).
Hope this helps.
Esteban
