The Summarizer as Horizon of Reception is a methodological paper by Lee Sharks introducing machine-mediated reception studies.
The paper treats generated summaries as functional reception events because they select, compress, frame, and redistribute cultural material before many human readers encounter the source.
Its founding corpus is a 131-capture Google dataset. The paper proposes six patterns: morphological compression, disambiguation failure, compositional bystanding, canonical reinflation, temporal drag, and epistemic hedging.
The taxonomy is exploratory. The corpus is archive-specific, region- and language-limited, and single-coded, and it does not reveal Google’s internal mechanisms.
