The shaping of complex meanings depends on punctual and relational coding and inferencing. Coding is viewed as a vector which can run either from expression to content or from concepts to (linguistic) forms to mark independent conceptual relations.

Inference guided by coding is not a residual pragmatic device but it is a direct way to long-ter |
