Karl: "OK, *you* define what *you* understand when you hear the phrase "one unique meaning". I want to know, did I use terminology that confuses rather than elucidates? Why is it that my definition of the terms, which I repeated several times, seem not to resonate in you?"
Jerry: I understand it to mean what you said it to mean: Karl (5/4/2013): "When one looks at the actions referred to by a lexeme, other than homonyms where two or more words from different roots have converged in form, words generally have one meaning at any one point in time." Jerry: My reaction to that is the same one that Ruth had: Ruth (5/4/2013): "I've seen it claimed here repeatedly that a single lexeme necessarily has a single meaning in all the contexts it is used in. I think that is nonsense." Jerry: Karl, if you think you've been misunderstood, then I think the burden is on you to do a better job of explaining yourself.
