Differences between "sense" and "meaning"
What are the differences between the 1st and the 2nd, and between the
3rd and 4th sentenses. I'm interested in words "meaning" and "sense".
1) Can this word be used in this MEANING?
2) Can this word be used in this SENSE?
3) In what MEANING is this word used here?
4) In what SENSE is this word used here?
Please, mind that 1-4 are not my questions but merely examples of
usage of words "meaning" and "sense". So there can be two answers.
a) there is a difference (than, please, explain what the difference
is)
b) they are complete sinonyms.
Thanx.
