Interactional Meaning is a pragmatic construct that refers to the emergent, context-dependent meaning co-constructed by interlocutors through linguistic and non-linguistic cues during social interaction, distinguishing it from propositional or lexical meaning by its reliance on shared intentions, turn-taking, and situational dynamics.
