 note = {In the logical tradition of analytical philosophy, to understand the meaning of an utterance is to understand its truth conditions. In the tradition of natural language analysis, meaning is related to the use of language. Since Grice, meaning is linked to speakers’ attitudes and actions. Following Austin, Searle and Vanderveken, to mean is to use words with the intention of performing illocutionary acts. Such acts have felicity conditions instead of truth conditions. The aim of this paper is to clarify the nature of meaning in the second trend of the contemporary philosophy of language. In my view, to mean something is mainly to attempt to perform illocutionary acts. Every attempt is an intentional action rather than an attitude. I will characterize the nature of the act of meaning and analyse its felicity conditions.},
