 We have looked at Relevance theory as an alternative attempt to predict and explain what speakers implicate. The main focus of Relevance theorists, however, is the process by which hearers interpret utterances. The hearer’s aim, on their view, is “to find an interpretation of the speaker’s meaning that satisfies the presumption of optimal relevance”. They infer that the hearer “should follow a path of least effort, and stop at the first overall interpretation that satisfies his expectations of relevance” (Wilson &amp; Sperber 2012: 7). Discussion of this part of Relevance theory is beyond the scope of this entry.
