Features: The author was the first to apply the relevance theory to translation studies, pointing out that translation is a verbal communicative act and a reasoning process closely linked to brain mechanisms. It not only involves codes but also involves dynamic reasoning based on dynamic context, and the basis of this reasoning is relevance. As a communicative translation, in the process of understanding and translating the source language, people rely on relevance when choosing codes. This argument has caused considerable impact in the field of translation studies. This book focuses on his theory and explores controversial yet notable important issues in translation studies within the framework of relevance theory. It not only clearly and deeply explains the author's viewpoints for translation theory researchers but also provides clear guidance for practitioners.
