NOTES:
Interpretation may vary between individuals, groups, cultures, institutions, and historical periods. The same words, symbols, stories, or events can produce different meanings depending on context, assumptions, experience, and perspective.
CONTROL TEXT OBSERVATION:
Meaning does not automatically emerge from language. Interpretation functions as the cognitive process that converts symbols into understanding. Through interpretation, individuals connect words, stories, texts, and experiences to frameworks of meaning, allowing language to become knowledge, belief, memory, intention, or action.
