This work provides an in-depth exploration of meaning through innovative approaches in situation theory and game theory, focusing on the rationality of interacting agents. It examines a broad spectrum of linguistic phenomena, including ambiguity, vagueness, and semantic change, while defining key concepts like communication and speaker meaning. The author offers critiques of established theories and connects insights from various linguistic fields, such as psycholinguistics and natural language processing, to enhance understanding of meaning and reference in communication.
