Edelman (1992: 130):
It is not the case that the language centres "contain" concepts or that concepts "arise" from speech. Meaning arises from the interaction of value category memory with the combined activity of conceptual areas and speech areas.

From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic theory, systems of linguistic meaning potential correlate with systems of perceptual meaning potential (conceptual value-category memory). Linguistic meaning arises for the speaker when such potential is instantiated, and for the hearer when such instances are correlated with potential.
