Resumen

In spite of achieving a great and very significant deal of work by elaborating a field and a dynamic model of meaning, the paper of Salvatore & Venuleo (2013) solicits some remarks; on the one hand, they are about the potential (but not yet achieved) contributions of the model to the social representations field of studies, especially understanding semiotically the “meaning of meaning” process; on the other hand, they are about the link between its data analysis framework (Geometric Data Analysis) and some epistemological considerations (logic of discovery). Some recommendations and orientations are discussed.
