Abstract
Writer-based and reader-based views of text-meaning are reflected by the respective questions "What is the author trying to tell me?" and "What does this text mean to me personally?" Contemporary computational linguistics, however, generally takes neither view. But this is not adequate for the development of sophisticated applications such as intelligence gathering and question answering. I discuss different views of text-meaning from the perspective of the needs of computational text analysis and the collaborative repair of misunderstanding. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
