Abstract
Ever since semantics became a scientific disipline in its own right, there has been a continuous discussion about the ontological status of its object of study, meaning. In an attempt to overcome the theoretical problems inherent to both subjectivism and objectivism, this article explore the possibility that meaning exists as an emergent intersubjective property, that is that only the meaning which is common to more than one speaker has real and relatively autonomous existence. From this conception of meaning it follows an epistemology which is neither that of the exterior observer, nor that of subjective introspection, but one of we, that is an interactional, participant and dialogical epistemology.
