This book illustrates the potential of Relevance Theory (RT) in
offering a cognitive-pragmatic, cause-effect account of translation
and interpreting (T&I), one which more closely engages T&I
activity with the mental processes of speakers, listeners, writers,
and readers during communicative acts. The volume provides an
overview of the cognitive approach to communication taken by RT,
with a particular focus on the distinction between explicit and
implicit content and the relationship between thoughts and
utterances. The book begins by outlining key concepts and theory in
RT pragmatics and charting the development of their disciplinary
relationship with work from T&I studies. Chapters draw on
practical examples from a wide range of T&I contexts, including
news media, scientific materials, literary translation, audiovisual
translation, conference interpreting, and legal interpreting. The
book also explores the myriad applications of RT
pragmatics-inspired work and future implications for translation
and interpreting research. This volume will be of interest to
scholars in T&I studies and pragmatics.
