Annotation

One has to admit a sense of 'conversational effect'. There is more to the understanding of a term than being able to cite its 'meaning': there are pragmatic aspects, peculiar to the conversational situation, such as tone, force, irony, and the like. Thus, when a speaker utters a statement, what is called for is not only an understanding on the hearer's part, but an interpretation as well. It is these aspects of conversation, which, in practice are inseparable, that compel us to take into account more than 'meaning' qua extension (i.e. scholastic arguments in semantics).
