Speaker’s meaning: is an expression (originally by J. Paul Grice, “Utterer's Meaning and Intention”. In The Philosophical Review, Bd. 78 (1969) 2, pp. 147–177.) for what a speaker means with an utterance or an action in contrast to the listener's meaning. It may happen that the speaker's meaning, can only be opened up from the circumstances of the exterior. See also to mean, speech acts, conventions, interpretation, intentions, action, communication._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

John R. Searle on Speaker Meaning - Dictionary of Arguments
VI 179 Example: KripkeVsDonnellan: (similar to Searle): we need a differentiation between speaker reference/semantic reference: if the speaker is wrong, the semantic reference can go to something other than what he is talking about. >Speaker reference, >Referene, >Donnellan, >KripkeVsDonnellan. VI 179/180 Searle: but that is not quite correct: for example "The King"/"The Usurper": the speaker does not even have to think that the object fulfills the description. >Description. Kripke: in a given idiolect, the semantic reference (without indexical components) is determined by a general intention of the speaker. The speaker reference is determined by a specific intention. Semantic reference/speaker reference/Kripke: in the case of an error both can vary. Idiolect/Kripke: here the semantic relation is determined by a general intention, the speaker reference is determined by a specific intention of the speaker. >Idiolect. SearleVsKripke: if I have both general and specific intention, then I have no general statements with respect to descriptions._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
