Combining communication with cognitive linguistics, relevance theory argues that language communication is an ostensive-inferential process, where inference plays a vital role. 對人類(lèi)交際的關(guān)聯(lián)理論進(jìn)行探討，并結合話(huà)語(yǔ)交際實(shí)踐，提出語(yǔ)言交際是一個(gè)明示推理過(guò)程，是必須依靠推理來(lái)進(jìn)行的新的語(yǔ)用學(xué)觀(guān)念。
Similarly, listening comprehension is a process in which listeners make pragmatic inference according to the context so as to achieve contextual effect and optimal relevance. 而聽(tīng)力理解的目的就是從話(huà)語(yǔ)所提供的語(yǔ)境中進(jìn)行語(yǔ)用推理，力求語(yǔ)境效果，尋求最佳關(guān)聯(lián)。
