Abstract

The present paper deals with the semantic analysis of the verb interpret taking it as a polysemantic verb of understanding. It presents the results of componential analysis on the basis of dictionary definitions, as well as context analysis. The article suggests a new definition for the verb interpret which reflects the components revealed as a result of the research and describes the semantic spectrum of the verb.
