Abstract Semantics and pragmatics are two close linguistic fields and the distinction between the two seems problematic as they both focus on non – natural meaning (according to Grice) with obvious overlapping. A first frame of study could be the distinction between linguistic meaning and use, although this can be misleading as even modality can have illocutionary force. There follows the distinction between sentence, utterance and proposition. A shift of the semantic focus can be observed; from the exclusive study of sentence within the boundaries set by Ideal Language to the study of utterance as part of Natural Language. Also, an attempt to match the notions above is made; an utterance may relate to two different sentences or a sentence may relate to two different utterances. The same happens with utterances and propositions. As for context, the distinctions between natural, linguistic and general knowledge are made. Finally, truth values are attributed to propositions while truth conditions to sentences. All the above help trace around but do not solve the problem. Nor do the Huang criteria (2007). The unclear boundaries between the two fields remain. Two trends are formed; the first one is advocated by Atlas (1977, 1989, 2005), Recanati (2004, 2005), Jaszczolt (2005), Sperber and Wilson (2004, 2005), Carston (2004) and Searle (1978, 2007). They follow the solution of a unique processing level and suggest that there should be pragmatic intrusion into it. The second one is supported by Borg (2004), Cappelen and Lepore (2005) and Bach (1999, 2004, 2005, 2006) who claim that there should be two distinct levels of processing, a semantic and a pragmatic one. A key notion which will help discern between the two fields appears What Is Said and the initial Gricean conception of it is questioned. What Is Said becomes the catalyst which will define the architecture of meaning and will lead to the clarification of the pragmatics – semantics relationship
