«Cooperación y relevancia» is the linguistics essay by Francisco Yus Ramos, published by Publicaciones de la Universidad de Alicante in paperback (162 pages, in Spanish).
The book analyses how listeners interpret messages in conversation, presenting two pragmatic models: Grice's Cooperative Principle and its continuation in Sperber and Wilson's Relevance Theory. Against the idea of communication as mere decoding, understanding is presented as a cognitive activity guided by hypotheses about the speaker's intention and by available contextual information.
The volume belongs to the publisher's Monografías collection. It is the first edition, published in 1997.
Intended for students and scholars of pragmatics, linguistics and philosophy of language who want a comparative introduction to these two theories.
