Hey! It works!
The truly wonderful thing about RT [relevance theory] is that it works! It is actually true to human behaviour and expectations, in describing how we not only make sense of words and phrases, but also body language. Furthermore, it gives a very good account of the way in which communication may fail and this is true not only to personal experience, but to the many examples in the biblical text.https://wipfandstock.com/9781532603679/a-relevant-way-to-read/
