Try a HSC English Extension question
Which statement best describes how meaning is produced through the relationship of text, author, reader and context?
- Meaning is determined entirely by the historical period in which the text was written.
- Meaning is fixed by the author's intention and readers can only discover it.
- Meaning exists only in the reader's mind, so the words of the text do not matter.
- Meaning emerges from interaction between the words on the page, the composer's situation, the reader's perspective and the surrounding circumstances.
Show the worked answer
Answer: D
The correct option recognises all four forces working together. The option about fixed authorial intention ignores the reader and the text's evidence, the option placing meaning only in the reader dismisses the words on the page, and the option about historical period alone reduces the text to its background.
