Complementary perspectives on metaphor: Cognitive linguistics and relevance theory. (2008, methodology): “A different perspective on metaphor comes from relevance theory (Carston, 2002; Pilkington, 2000; Sperber and Wilson, 1995, in press; Wilson and Carston, 2006), which is rooted in a broad theoretical framework for explaining cognition and communication.”
Universal Implicatures and Free Choice Effects: Experimental Data (2009, background): “More precisely, the present results show that the bare globalist approach requires new additions but that the localist addition does not fully account for the whole distribution of universal inferences either.”
Simple Sentences, Substitution, and Intuitions (2007, background): “¹² See, for example, Wilson and Sperber (1981); Sperber and Wilson (1986); Carston (1991).”
A deflationary account of metaphors (2008, background): “10 See, for instance, Martinich (1984), Tourangeau and Rips (1991), Becker (1997), Gineste, Indurkhya and Scart (2000), Carston (2002a), Vega Moreno (2004, 2007), Wilson and Carston (2006).”
The co-constitution of politeness implicature in conversation (2007, unknown): “Carston (2002), for example, concludes in her comprehensive defense of the concept of explicature that “the distinction between explicatures and implicatures, the two kinds of communicated assumptions, is primarily a derivational distinction and may have no greater import than that” (p.366).”
The semantics and pragmatics of metadiscourse (2005, background): “…communicated content is either the basic proposition expressed by the utterance or any higher-level explicatures obtained by (optionally) embedding the proposition expressed under a speech-act or propositionalattitude description (Wilson and Sperber, 1993: 6; Ifantidou, 2001: 130; Carston, 2002).”
Newspaper headlines and relevance: Ad hoc concepts in ad hoc contexts (2009, background): “The present work views headlines as a type of linguistically underdetermined meaning, where the linguistically encoded meaning may underdetermine (not fully determine) the proposition a writer expresses by a particular linguistic string (see Carston, 2002).”
Relevance and prosody (2006, methodology): “Relevance theory is based on a definition of relevance and two general principles: a Cognitive and a Communicative Principle of Relevance (for recent accounts, see Blakemore 2002; Carston 2002; Wilson and Sperber 2004).”
