The article is issued in the form of dialogue. The subject of consideration is the problem of interpretation. The dialogue begins with a question about the possibility of a single correct interpretation of the text. The article defends the view that the possibility of unambiguous interpretation determined by the original characteristics of the text. The distinction between oral and written language is presented as a fundamental feature of any discourse. Also considers the role of the addressee in the communication. The addressee is regarded as a connecting link between speech and being. The texts differ in their possible connection with the notion of being. Because of this there is the opportunity to ask the ontological dimension of interpretation. Written text is presented as the mediator of the transcendental. Understanding and interpretation are presented as constituting of the view of the world.
