The questions themselves are still beginning to be asked. **Nor would the investigation itself be likely to yield a semiotic 'model' of interpretive strategies. There are irreducible differences not only in the historical settings in which interpretation takes place, but in the very status of diverse texts (sacred, legendary, recreational, prescriptive) for different individuals and communities.

For an increasing number of critics theorizing about encounters with 'other' texts and times, 'otherspeaking' seems to speak their language. To try to 'explain' this change in attitude would be like trying to 'explain' historical change as a whole. But there are ways to situate the change, which, like every development in the interpretation of interpretation, is likely to change in turn.
