The Influential People and Memories in the Formation of My Approach to Contextual Functional Interpretation

Abstract

It will be noted that in all my scholarly writings and studies I have used an approach I call “contextual functional interpretation”, a problem-solving method. Every word has a meaning specific to its cultural context and carries a text on its shoulders. If this text is not correctly understood, the accuracy of the sentence cannot reach a sufficient and necessary level of reliability. By ensuring the correct understanding of each word that makes up the sentence, a reliable accuracy of explanation is achieved. In the genesis of this idea, scientists and mentors who have had an impact on the formation of my mind, identity and embodiment have played a significant role. In this article, I would like to talk to you about the people who influenced me in the birth of the contextual-functional approach to interpretation, and share some memories of them.
