Ways of meaning are:

Sameness of meaning seems to include more than co-extensitivity of expressions. But we have not found intuitive adequate standards for synonymy since the internal lexicon supposedly contains the meanings of our expressions, the ambiguity surrounding the term of meaning leads to a lack of clarity about what the lexicon finally is to contain.
IV 143

>Extension, >Speaker meeaning.
