Context of use(as the circumstances that can affect meaning): All the surrounding facts about when, where, and how something is being said—like who's speaking, who's listening, and what situation they're in.
Deferred utterance(as the main concept being explained): A situation where someone says something, but the words don't get their full meaning right at that moment—instead, the meaning gets worked out later, in a different time or place.
Predelli(as the philosopher whose work is being discussed): Marco Predelli is a philosopher who studies how language works, particularly focusing on how the meaning of words can depend on when and where they're spoken.
Utterance anchor(as the fixed reference point in question): The specific time and place where words are actually spoken, which traditionally was thought to be what pins down or determines what those words mean.
