| Summary: | A text has various semantic dimensions - conveys meaning on various levels - in a way which is much more complex than suspected by Hirsch. Especially important is the meaning of what is depicted or asserted by the words of a text as signs. A great problem, however, is how meaning on this level may be found. It is suggested that such discovery is a complex task which involves arranging or ""matrixing"" of evidence according to an unarticulated ""grammar"". A further problem is the role of the reader in the discovery of meaning on all levels in a text. At times the reader's meaning corresponds to authorial intention and at times it does/can not. |
