The interpretation. Usual definitions of “interpretation” tend to conflate these issues. In formal semantics, the word “interpretation” often can be used either in the sense of “an interpretation structure, which is a ‘possible world’ considered as something independent of any particular vocabulary” (and so any agent) or “an interpretation mapping from a vocabulary into the structure” or as shorthand for both (Hayes 2004). The difference in use of the term seems somewhat divided by fields. ” In contrast, we use the term ‘interpretation’ to mean what Hayes called the “interpretation mapping,” reserving the word ‘content’ for the “interpretation structure” or structures selected by a particular agent in relationship to some encoding.

When this happens, one is no longer dealing with a simple message, but some form of language. A language can be defined as a system in which information is related to other information systematically. In a language, this is a relationship between how the encoding of some information can change the interpretation of other encodings. Messages always have encodings, and usually these encodings are part of languages. To be more brief, information is encoded in languages. The relationships between encodings and content are usually taken to be based on some form of (not necessarily formalizable or even understood) rules.
