Relevance Theory in Translation and Interpreting: A Cognitive-Pragmatic Approach

This book illustrates the potential of Relevance Theory in offering a cognitive-pragmatic, cause-effect account of translation and interpreting, one which more closely engages T&I activity with the mental processes of speakers, listeners, writers, and readers during communicative acts.

Dr Fabrizio Gallai is research fellow and lecturer at the UniversitaÌ degli Studi Internazionali - UNINT in Rome. He is the author of a range of articles on translation and interpreting and cognitive pragmatics (Relevance Theory), including the chapter on ＂Cognitive pragmatics and translation studies＂ in The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Pragmatics.
