Tom,
The emphasis of 'language' as the source of 'meaning' reminds me of the information-processing view that is characteristic of most computerized information systems. Simultaneously, the psychological notion of a human mind as 'tabula rasa' (blank slate) on which meaning is enacted primarily by the external symbols or images seems incomplete in various respects - both theoretical and pragmatic.
Hence, adding to your point about 'conversation,' 'communication,' and 'meaning' - conversation, or more appropriately 'dialog,' is essential for surfacing the 'meanings' that are embedded in the various implicit 'theories of action' and explicit elaborations embedded in various languages. I recall we had some earlier communications on this forum that are relevant to this point.
