Guillaume devised a linguistic theory that is the perfect continuation and
absolute expansion of what Meillet, Saussure, and Benveniste at times
envisioned or understood without seeing the limitless possibilities some of
their ideas may open. Guillaume has thus built psychomechanics as a theory that
can capture the use of language in any situation as a human psychological and
communicational creative activity. He is interested in discovering what the
speaker intended to express and how this intention is cast into the formal
apparatus of one particular language to produce a message which becomes an
effective expression that supposedly corresponds to the intention of the
speaker. But that is when it all starts getting tricky and interesting. There
is practically never one meaning behind even one single word, at least not for
everyone at the same time in the whole world. Just ask 8 billion people to draw
a dog or draw a bird and you'll see the differences.
