Abstract
Defining sentence meaning and utterance meaning is a difficult task for a number of reasons: the hesitant delimitation of the domain and level of analysis; the diversity of perspectives from which the problem has been approached (logical, philosophical, linguistic, scientific, etc.); the difficulty of giving semantics the status of a discipline; the immanent saturation, ignoring what is beyond the lexeme, namely how the lexeme works in discourse, etc. In this paper we propose a memorial perspective, based on pragma-semantics, showing that utterance meaning is the result of a construction based on linguistic and extralinguistic factors. Utterance meaning is constructed in discourse, it showcases sentence meaning pertaining to the semantic level and reactivates several types of memory: phonetic, phrastic (including morphosyntactic and semantic memory), discursive and encyclopedic.
