The papers collected here cover a wide range of topics, exploring important areas of current debate and developing ideas which will make significant contributions to the development of the theory itself and to the ways in which it can be applied. - Billy Clark, Senior Lecturer in English Language, Middlesex University

Author Information
Ewa Wałaszewska and Agnieszka Piskorska are Assistant Professors at the Institute of English Studies, University of Warsaw, Poland. They are also co-editors of a number of publications related to Relevance Theory. Ewa Wałaszewska's principal interests lie within the fields of semantics and pragmatics, including Relevance Theory, its applications to the study of particular linguistic phenomena as well as its theoretical implications for the investigation of human communication and cognition. Agnieszka Piskorska's interests have been invariably connected with a relevance-theoretic approach to text interpretation and its impact on the hearer, especially in humour and translation studies.
