| Speaker’s meaning: is an expression (originally by J. Paul Grice, “Utterer's Meaning and Intention”. In The Philosophical Review, Bd. 78 (1969) 2, pp. 147–177.) for what a speaker means with an utterance or an action in contrast to the listener's meaning. It may happen that the speaker's meaning, can only be opened up from the circumstances of the exterior. See also to mean, speech acts, conventions, interpretation, intentions, action, communication._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Saul A. Kripke on Speaker Meaning - Dictionary of Arguments
II 226 Meaning/to mean/Grice: there is a distinction between what the words of the speaker mean on a certain occasion and what he meant. Kripke: what words mean on a certain occasion is determined on this occasion by these conventions together with the intentions of the speaker and various factors of the context. >Speaker intention, >Speaker reference, >referential/attributive, >Context, >Meaning (Intending). II 230 Irony/Kripke: irony does not change the meaning, "a great friend" does not have a "quote-sign meaning", but is determined by the speech act. >Convention, >Speech act. II 237 KripkeVsDonnellan: English is not so ambiguous, e.g. ambiguous language: could confuse "der" and "ter" "der"/Kripke: a corresponding statement is true iff an object is the only one to satisfy it. "ter": here it is crucial what the speaker means. Conclusion: in English there can be a distinction: "ter" is probably rigid. >Rigidity. The speaker meaning in all possible worlds is always what the speaker believes. Then "Jones said ter man she married is nice to her" is actually not an appropriate representation. Therefore Donnellan says that in the referential case it is difficult to speak of a "statement" ("problem of statement")._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
