Abstract:

Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

Bringing together work by leading scholars in relevance theory, this volume
showcases cutting-edge research within the theory, and demonstrates its
influence across a range of fields including linguistics, pragmatics,
philosophy of language, literary studies, developmental psychology and
cognitive science. Organised into broad thematic strands that represent the
latest research and debates, the volume shows the depth of analysis now
possible after nearly forty years of intensive work in developing and applying
the principles of relevance theory. The breadth of influence of the framework
is reflected in the chapters of the volume, in some cases moving beyond the
traditional realms of semantics and pragmatics to include discourse analysis,
language acquisition, media and education. The volume will be essential
reading for researchers in these fields, as well as for those already working
within relevance theory or with other pragmatic theories.
