How would you define ‘interpretation?’ Would you say, “Putting your own spin on something” or maybe “Giving your own perspective?” That would be correct. Perhaps you would go further and suggest that an ‘interpretation’ seeks to explain the meaning of something, and that would also be correct. Google Dictionary gives synonyms like: elucidation, exposition, and clarification. Our competitive speech leagues usually define ‘interpretation’ along the lines of “bringing literature to life” for the purposes of their event structure, and that encompasses all of those approaches above!
