To date, the study of communicated explanations has been, at best,
unsystematic. There has been little recognition that many, if not
most, explanations are eventually delivered to a hearer or hearers.
These potential audiences constrain the way the explanation is

accompanying interest in the fundamental processes of event
comprehension. This volume is devoted to bridging the gap between
these two traditions.
