At the same time, this collection is a testament to the health of the field of pragmatics at this moment in its development. The breadth and depth of linguistic, philosophical, and psychological enquiries into our capacity to interpret and understand each other's communicative behaviour in context are all on robust display here.'

Organised into broad thematic strands that represent the latest research and debates, the volume shows the depth of analysis now possible after nearly forty years of intensive work in developing and applying the principles of relevance theory. The breadth of influence of the framework is reflected in the chapters of the volume, in some cases moving beyond the traditional realms of semantics and pragmatics to include discourse analysis, language acquisition, media and education. The volume will be essential reading for researchers in these fields, as well as for those already working within relevance theory or with other pragmatic theories.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction Robyn Carston, Billy Clark and Kate Scott\u003cbr\u003e Reflections on the development of relevance theory\u003cbr\u003e Personal notes on a shared trajectory Dan Sperber\u003cbr\u003e The source of relevance Neil Smith\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
