'Words don't have meaning'. 'We also tell you what those words mean.'

You start your post here mischaracterizing the argument made. 

The argument wasn't words don't have meaning. It was the meaning of words are relational and inter-subjective. 

That's the basis of much of semiotics. 

We can literally measure this when we embed semantics in vector spaces.
