Abstract
According to the replacement theory of meaning, every speech act is consequent upon an internal, mental act of meaning or intending. the question "what do you mean by the sentence" is thus always a reasonable question and is always distinguishable from the question "what does the sentence mean?" the author argues that the replacement theory is misleading in its implications as to the function of such questions as "what do you mean" and that if what it implies about them were true, it would follow that it must be appropriate to ask strictly unanswerable questions.
