Language (1933)
•Definition of meaning: “When anything apparently unimportant turns out to be closely connected with more things, we say that it has, after all, a ‘meaning’; namely, it ‘means’ these more important things.
Accordingly, we say that speech-utterance,
trivial and unimportant in itself,
is important because it has a meaning: the meaning
consists of the important things with which the speech utterance (B) is connected, namely the practical events (A and C)” (p. 27).
