Relevance, first published in 1986, was named as one of the most important and influential books of the decade in the Times Higher Educational Supplement. This revised edition includes a new Preface outlining developments in Relevance Theory since 1986, discussing the more serious criticisms of the theory, and envisaging possible revisions or extensions.
The book sets out to lay the foundation for a unified theory of cognitive science. The authors argue than human cognition has a goal: we pay attention only to information which seems to us relevant. To communicate is to claim someone's attention, and hence to imply that the information communicated is relevant. Thus, a single property - relevance is seen as the key to human communication and cognition.
A second important feature of the book is its approach to the study of reasoning. It elucidates the role of background or contextual information in spontaneous inference, and shows that non-demonstrative inference processes can be fruitfully analysed as a form of suitably constrained guesswork. It directly challenges recent claims that human central thought processes are likely to remain a mystery for some time to come.
Thirdly, the authors offer new insight into language and literature, radically revising current view on the nature and goals of verbal comprehension, and in particular on metaphor, irony, style, speech acts, presupposition and implicature.

托课堂pre的福，对Wilson和Sperber的relevance theory有了粗线条的认识。
评分觉得relevance theory有点像致命ID “人的认知就是个机器 你们厮杀吧竞争吧 最后肯定会剩下一个的”
评分个人不太喜欢这种enlightenment account of human knowledge而已~

评分在RT娘家的一年修行即将满期，我迟早有一天要为这本书写一篇很长的评论。推翻Grice的神像之后，我们应该立起来的是什么？能告诉我们答案的，只有我们自己。
