Edited by Marjolein Groefsema ISBN 0-952-9901-0-5 This volume contains fifteen of the papers that were presented at the University of Hertfordshire RT Workshop, which was held in Hatfield Peverel from 27-29 October 1995. The aim of the Workshop was to bring together researchers working within the framework of Relevance theory to dicuss their research and exchange ideas.
