Over the past twenty years, relevance theory has become a key area
of study within semantics and pragmatics. In this comprehensive new
textbook, Billy Clark introduces the key elements of the theory and
how they interconnect. The book is divided into two parts - the
first providing an overview of the essential machinery of the
theory, and the second exploring how the original theory has been
extended, applied and critically discussed. Clark offers a
systematic framework for understanding the theory from the basics
up, building a complete picture and providing the basis for
advanced research across a range of topics. With this book,
students will understand the fundamentals of relevance theory, its
origins in the work of Grice, the relationship it has to other
approaches, and its place within recent developments and debates.
