Even to the degree we don't need to represent it, to understand others we need a shared contextual understanding of what is being said.

Because if you say "I need to eat" and you mean "I am making a mental note to grab a snack from the cafeteria before my meeting" and I say "I need to eat" and mean "I am craving sex" we are NOT HAVING EQUIVALENT CONVERSATIONS even though our words are the same.

But in AP by and large we'd see them represented the same way, even if they shouldn't be.
