ABSTRACT

For pragmatic study Sperber and Wilson Relevance Theory has provided a brand-new theoretic framework and perspective. It has laid a foundation for cognitive pragmatics and shifted the key point of pragmatics from utterance production to utterance comprehension. According to Relevance Theory, utterance comprehension involves two processes: decoding and inference, and it requires two basic tools: representation and computation. On this basis, relevance theorists distinguish two basic types of encoded meaning: conceptual meaning, which is associated with representation, and procedural meaning, which is associated with computation. ‘zhe’ and ‘na’ is one of the most universly-used words in modern Chinese. Based on this Relevance Theory, a review of the ‘zhe’ in Chinese.
