Meaning is social.
No individual, sender or receiver, can control the true
meaning of a statement.
But neither can a single receiver unilaterally control
what a statement or an action really means to others.
Meaning is contextual.

meaning of the communication.

but from all that surrounds them as they are uttered.

expectations of the audience.
