Genre, Relevance and Global Coherence: The Pragmatics of Discourse Type - Palgrave Studies in Pragmatics, Language and Cognition
C. Unger
This book seeks to explain how discourse types influence the addressee's understanding of the communicator's intention. Examining global coherence-based accounts as well as proposals based on Gricean pragmatics, it argues that the key to a solution lies in the cognitive and communicative principles of relevance proposed by Sperber & Wilson.
