"Parler une langue suppose d’être capable d’adapter très précisément ce que l’on dit à ce qui vient d’être dit. Participer à une conversation demande à la fois d’ajuster la pertinence de sa propre contribution à l’échange en cours et de comprendre comment ce que disent les autres prolonge ce qui a été dit jusque-là. Les questions sur la pertinence sont en lien étroit avec la question de savoir ce qui permet d’établir la cohérence et la cohésion des discours. De nombreuses disciplines se sont emparées de ces notions, que ce soit en (psycho)linguistique, en philosophie du langage, en logique, et plus généralement en sciences cognitives. Ce foisonnement scientifique et l’extension de ces notions rendent nécessaire une clarification de leur champ d’application. Cohérence, cohésion et pertinence vise à cartographier ces notions dans les travaux contemporains de philosophie du langage, de logique, de linguistique et de psycholinguistique."

This book introduces the reader to relevant logic and provides the subject with a philosophical interpretation. The defining feature of relevant logic is that it forces the premises of an argument to be really used ('relevant') in deriving its conclusion. The logic is placed in the context of possible world semantics and situation semantics, which are then applied to provide an understanding of the various logical particles (especially implication and negation) and natural language conditionals. The book ends by examining various applications of relevant logic and presenting some interesting open problems. It will be of interest to a range of readers including advanced students of logic, philosophical and mathematical logicians, and computer scientists.

"When people speak, their words never fully encode what they mean, and the context is always compatible with a variety of interpretations. How can comprehension ever be achieved? Wilson and Sperber argue that comprehension is a process of inference guided by precise xpectations of relevance. What are the relations between the linguistically encoded meanings studied in semantics and the thoughts that humans are capable of entertaining and conveying? How should we analyse literal meaning, approximations, metaphors and ironies? Is the ability to understand speakers' meanings rooted in a more general human ability to understand other minds? How do these abilities interact in evolution and in cognitive development? Meaning and Relevance sets out to answer these and other questions, enriching and updating relevance theory and exploring its implications for linguistics, philosophy, cognitive science and literary studies"--
