When someone interprets a thought, a notion, an object, or an action they are trying to find meaning or the purpose. This is the most basic school of thought in terms of finding meaning in something.
There are two ways to interpret meaning.
Through...
1. Representational Word
or through...
2. Conceptual Word.
When meaning is representational, your are basically saying that you are applying real world logic into your personal interpretation. Such as the definition of a mountain range, continent, or country is defined as.
Now when you are thinking of meaning in a conceptual way, what you are doing is simply analyzing notions such as truth or justice. Which both are purely speculative; both require a great deal of conceptual interpretation.
So when the meaning of something is really left up for conceptual interpretation the meaning can be perceived in many different ways by many different people. When something is purely interpreted by representation, it far easier to define than something with far more complexity.
