jelentésrétegektl

jelentésrétegektl is a neologism that appears in some Hungarian-language discussions of linguistics and literary theory to denote the idea of multiple layers of meaning in a text or symbol. The form is likely a typographical variant or improvised shorthand of jelentésrétegek (layers of meaning); standard Hungarian would normally use jelentésrétegek.

Conceptually, jelentésrétegektl refers to an analytic framework in which interpretation proceeds by identifying successive strata of sense: the literal or denotative level, figurative or metaphorical levels, connotative or ideological meanings, intertextual references, and pragmatic or contextual implications. Proponents argue that texts operate on several levels simultaneously, and readers reconstruct these strata through background knowledge, culture, and discourse communities.

Applications include literary criticism, media analysis, discourse studies, and even brand communication or user experience contexts where messages carry layered meanings. The approach emphasizes reader response and the dynamic nature of meaning, rather than a single authoritative interpretation.

Critics warn against over-interpretation, circular reasoning, and methodological vagueness in defining what counts as a separate layer or how to distinguish them empirically. See also: jelentés, réteg, hermeneutika, multimodal meaning.
