... there's only one of three answers.

1. The point at which meaning isn't use is simply the point where the
use doesn't create meaning (if that's possible); or where, better yet,
it does not create successful meaning.

2. He speaks of words that do not develop more than one sense in the
language culture, because of the way those words are socially policed.
It is possible that certain kinds of scientific jargon work like this.
If more than one sense cannot develop for any word, meaning seems
fixed.

3. It's an unfortunate passage that didn't get cleaned up in a book
that he never got to the point of being "finished." You'd have to be
able to square it with everything else he said and wrote in that
period. So if meaning isn't use for some things, those things sure are
rather limited.
