Is there a difference between the meaning of "meaning" as in "the meaning of life" and meaning as in "meaning of a proposition"?

In the first case, one is referring to motivations and purposes, and in the second to the semantics of propositions, and the "aboutness" of thoughts, as opposed to syntax and logical structure (i.e. relatively simple mappings between linguistic and logical structures on one hand and facts about the world on the other).

How is the use of "meaning" in the first context related to the use of "meaning" in the second? I assume that there is a more fundamental meaning to "meaning" which related the two, and this would help us better answer questions of the type: "what is the meaning of life?", "what is the meaning of the universe?", etc....Is the real challenge to finding the "meaning of life, the universe, and everything" simply one of finding or constructing an adequate mapping?
