I can't help but issue what I hope is a clarification to Linda's comments if I may.  I think I can relate to the difference in your points of view in the analysis.  I think that the actual presence of the expression "listening" is not necessary, and in fact may be distracting to the point that Linda is making.  The idea in "re-process" is "think again"  The interpreter asks: "How can I reinterpret this sentence, to have a broader meaning?"  Yes, I can think of listening in there (without expressing it with an additional word uttered).  It seems to be going on in the interface between syntax and semantics.
