all but one of these references are incorporated in my "the semantic turn; a new foundation for design" taylor&francis, 2006 where you find also four theories of meaning and how to measure or study them. for an overview see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Semantic_Turn

Subject: Looking for Some Documents in Semantics/ meaning
Dear all,
Does anybody have the following documents:
1. Measurement of various product appearances (Abend, 1973)
2. Issues of meaning in Architecture (Bunt and Jencks, 1980)
3. Meanings in urban environment (Martin krampen, 1979)
4. Economic perspective on design, that moved meaning and product semantics into the center of explanations of a cultural dynamics of artifacts (Gerdum, 1999)
Thanks,
Sukanta
