Abstract:

The chapters in this volume apply the methodology of relevance theory to
develop accounts of various pragmatic phenomena which can be associated with
the broadly conceived notion of style. Some of them are devoted to central
cases of figurative language (metaphor, metonymy, puns, irony) while others
deal with issues not readily associated with figurativeness (from multimodal
communicative stimuli through strong and weak implicatures to discourse
functions of connectives, particles and participles). Other chapters shed
light on the use of specific communicative styles, ranging from hate speech to
humour and humorous irony.  <br />Using the relevance-theoretic toolkit to
analyse a spectrum of style-related issues, this volume makes a case for the
model of pragmatics founded upon inference and continuity, understood as the
non-existence of sharply delineated boundaries between classes of
communicative phenomena.
