It seems to me we need to give an account of the nature of the
connection between the sentence token and the mental events that take
place when asserting it. I am reminded of Wittgenstein's
thought-experiment: Say "It's warm in here" and mean "It's cold in
here".

But the whole point of such thought-experiments was to show that
meaning something by something does not consist in some mental act.
