 note = {To understand the meaning of a certain linguistic expression is to encounter with the speaker or writer in the field of language. And hermeneutics, the science of interpretation, has the function of leading the hearer or reader to the under standing of speech or writings. The end of linguistic expression is to transmit one's external or internal experience to others through language, so in order to understand some linguistic expression it is necessary to imitate or repeat the experience of the performer. But a language gives us only finite means though our experiences are infinite, so we cannot but make infinite use of finite means in linguistic expression. Therefore linguistic expression is more or less allegorical and ambiguious. In order to avoid misunderstanding it is necessary to interpret properly the implicit meaning of speech or writings. We become conscious of ourselves through speaking or wri ting which gives appropriate forms to our thoughts or feelings which are often chaotic and formless before expressed. According to I. A. Richards the meaning of linguistic expression consists of four aspects, viz. sense, feeling, tone, and intention. And sense has two aspects-literal and figurative. To grasp these aspects through semantic interpretation is to prepare the way to the understanding of linguistic expression. Misunder standing comes from the lack of interpretation or from reading into texts our own ideas or feelings. In other words interpretation reduces linguistic surface structure to deep structure whose kernel is the intention of the performer. The whole meaning of linguistic performances consists of many semantic elements which are contextual with one another and are integrated by the performer's intention. But in many cases the intention is hidden and the performer himself is often unconscious of his own intention. Linguistic expression has its limit and cannot help being suggestive and of polysemy, so liberty of interpretation should be admitted in some degree. But in order to avoid misunderstanding as far as possible not only sympathetic intuition but also hermeneutics, the science and method of semantic interpretation, will be demanded. Hermeneutics is nothing but applied semantics, and is an effective medium to make possible the encounter between the speaker-writer and the hearer-reader in the field of tradition and transcendental apperception. Mutual understanding through linguistic expression among human beings can be established only through the organic combination of individual, tradition based on special historical society, and humanity which should be universal in the world., Article, 信州大学教養部紀要. 第一部, 人文科学 4: 81-88(1970)},
