Relevance Theory and Relevance-based Translation
In 1986, French linguist and philosopher Dan Sperber and British linguist Deirdre Wilson co-published a book entitled Relevance: Communication and Cognition. In this book, Sperber and Wilson put forward the relevance theory which is mainly concerned with communication and cognition and has exerted a far-reaching influence on the western pragmatic field. Relevance theory, a branch of pragmatics, is about communication from the cognitive point. Since then, many scholars home and abroad have done further researches on this theory.
