Abstract

SummaryThis paper contends, that theories and models describing and explaining empirical data, are not privative to Natural Science. Similarly, models of interpretation are produced in the Human Sciences, and wherever we want to expound and understand. A few examples are offered to show that such model present, besides words, concepts, sentences and complex sentences, a further category of semantic elements. Interpretative models turn out to be relational systems, which can be divided into three classes, according to the logical‐grammatical character of the elements to be found in them
