[Grammar] to provide the sentence meaning

[suprunp]

Writers have attempted to provide the sentence meaning through context, the first of which was written by Chinese linguist Yuen Ren Chao.
(Colorless green ideas sleep furiously; Wikipedia)

I think that it should be "...to provide the sentence with meaning...".
Am I right and if I am is it a common mistake that native speakers make?

Thanks.

An attempt was also made by a UE poet here: Well-Formed

If the writer meant 'the meaning of the sentence' by 'the sentence meaning', then it's fine.
