Difficult sentence

I find the following sentence, currently the opening sentence of the last paragraph, difficult to understand:

"A question asked is if meaning is established by looking at the neighbourhood in the semantic net a word is part of and by looking at the other words it occurs with in natural sentences or if the meaning is already locally contained in a word." —Anthony.Sebastian 21:12, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
