Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The social, economic, political, and other contexts of texts as well as of interpreters have an important bearing upon the "meaning" of such texts. Any interpreter should be conscious of this fact and inculcate it into his pronouncements on the "meaning" of a text.
