Has it already lexicalized as an adverb? as in Son, you've been taught by the greatest father of all time, meaning me --Backinstadiums (talk) 12:06, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

This page is desperately broken (translation subblocks vs definitions)
The translation subblocks are inconsistent with the definitions, and the problem seems to have existed for a long time (at least since year 2014). Taylor 49 (talk) 11:25, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Decomposing the definitions
I am attempting to come up with an analytical scheme that gives reasonable assurance that our definitions span all usage of the word and provides distinguishable definitions. Some dimansions:
 * Intended vs. interpreted (received)
 * Of words, etc. vs. other somethings
 * A person's meaning = intent
 * Words: connotation (?) vs. denotation (countable, intended=received, ie, shared)
 * countable (usually limited to definitions?) vs. uncountable

Possible structure of definitions:
 * 1) of a word etc. (countable, shared)
 * 2) denotation
 * 3) connotation?
 * 4) of a person (possibly concealed, ie. intent only)
 * 5) aim
 * 6) of a phenomenon (no intent, as received)
 * 7) (uncountable) significance. His misstep had much meaning.
 * 8) of a person's utterances or actions (intended (purport) != received (import)).
 * 9) purport
 * 10) import

Comments welcome. DCDuring (talk) 18:31, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
