- sets out to lay the foundation for a unified theory of cognitive science
- elucidates the role of background or contextual information in spontaneous inference and shows that non-demonstrative inference processes can be analysed as a form of suitably constrained guesswork
- offers new insight into language and literature, radically revising current view on the nature and goals of verbal comprehension
- 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.
