たいていの英語で書かれた意味論の教科書は,意味の意味を考える第一歩として,英語の mean という動詞を用いた様々な例文を挙げることで始まる.例えば,Hofmann (1--2) では,次のような例文が提示される.
・ What did she mean by winking like that?
・ That nasal accent means he comes from Chicago.
・ How she feels means a lot to me.
・ Who do you mean to refer to by that?
・ Who do you mean by 'that guy with an earring'?
・ What does the word teacher mean?
・ What do you mean by freedom?
Crystal (187) でも,次のように mean の多義性が導入されている.
・ 'intend' --- I mean to visit Jane next week.
・ 'indicate' --- A red signal means stop.
・ 'refer to' --- What does 'telemetry' mean?
・ 'have significance' --- What does global warming mean?
・ 'convey' --- What does the name McGough mean to you?
ここでは,それぞれ意図,示唆,重要性,指示,語義,定義などと言い表すことができるような語義で,mean が用いられている.また,英語辞書で mean を調べると,辞書によって語義分類に差異が見られるものの,複数の語義が挙げられているのが普通である.日本語の「意味する」もおよそ同様に広い使い方ができるので,mean とほぼ同じ問題を扱っているととらえてよい.
Ogden and Richards (186--87) は,The Meaning of Meaning の中で,意味の意味(として古今東西採用されてきたもの)を16に分類している.以下に整理しよう.
A I An Intrinsic property. II A unique unanalysable Relation to other things. B III The other words annexed to a word in the Dictionary. IV The Connotation of a word. V An Essence. VI An activity Projected into an object. VII (a) An event Intended. (b) A Volition. VIII The Place of anything in a system. IX The Practical Consequences of a thing in our future experience.
