Re: Friday, 15:00

I think Guido's requirement is important. I do not like much calling "Meaning" a token, but the idea is clear.
My proposal: we can easily create a "contextualized meaning" (a meaning token) by using the semio:LinguisticAct class. For example, we can say that a meaning (sense, concept) participating (intended, assumed, conceptualized) in a linguistic act is an instance of a special class that we could name e.g.:

ContextualizedMeaning
MeaningOccurrence
SenseOccurrence
…

This pattern can be implemented by means of situations (as in semiotics.owl), or context slices/tropes, or qua-entities.

In this light, roughly, types can be put among abstractions (i.e. entities without specific spatio-temporal collocation) while tokens are basically concrete entities. Coming to linguistics, this led us to distinguish (what we call) 'Meaning' (token) from (what we call) 'Sense' (type). The former occurs in contexts and is conveyed by Expressions, the latter is a socially constructed abstraction and are linked to Lexical Entries. Meanings 'instantiate' one or more Senses.
