A study on the Interpretative Theory from the Perspective of Culture

Abstract

According to the interpretive theory, the process of interpreting is actually a process of conveying the sense. The scholars of the interpretive school argue that interpreting does not simply translate the information on the surface or its form of expression. A faithful interpretation is faithful to the sense of the original speech. In achieving the sense of the original speech, culture plays a significant role. The focus of this thesis is to study the interpretive theory from the perspective of culture.
