Meanings of a literary text and the roles of communication participants

Summary/Abstract: In the paper, I introduce selected theories, concepts, and definitions which serve to facilitate understanding and describing a text, as well as the participants of communication which takes place in the process of using the text, i.e. the author, the reader and the translator. I present comments extracted from the works of philosophers such as Hans-Georg Gadamer, Paul Ricoeur, Roland Barthes, Friedrich Schleiermacher. I discuss important philosophical hypotheses, which have been regularly appearing in the philological narrative, e.g. removing the category of author in postmodern writings; reading a text as a translation of a foreign vision of the world, approach, and experience. As a starting point, I make the assumption that the process of information exchange is a complex and multidimensional one, and that its effective analysis is only possible in the conditions of maximum orientation towards the possibilities of creating the message by the sender and the receptive and cognitive abilities of the language user.
