topic (what the message is about) is associated with referential function: it is closely tied to the dictionary meanings of messages.
code (signalling units of which a message is composed) realizes metalinguistic function, i.e. information about the code that is conveyed in a speech act.
F. receiver — connected with the directive function — concerns subsequent activity of the receiver as directed by what the speaker says. (e.g. "Would you close the door, please?") and a rhetorical function - concerns the receiver's outlook as it is affected by what is said, e.g. "What a nice dress."
g. setting (context) - (relevant features constituting a specific setting most often involve participants, location, and time of the speech act) is realized through the contextual junction of the speech act. Setting component is reflected in messages saying something about the time, place, or persons in the interaction. Many linguistic forms referring to these things cannot be interpreted without reference to the speech act itself, for their meanings are not fixed but relative (e.g. 'me', 'you', 'here', 'there', 'now', 'then') (e.g. "It happened yesterday"; "Oh, there you are"). In some cases, the primary function of the whole speech act is contextual.
Once we are familiar with the Junctions of the speech act we can think of them in a slightly different way by calling these functions meanings that can be associated with the speech act. So in this sense there are at least 9 general kinds of meanings that can be associated with the communicative/speech act.
