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.
