Summary

This volume of chapters on topics in relevance theory has been assembled in honour of Deirdre Wilson, with all its chapters written by former students and/or colleagues of hers. My aim is to describe the impact of Deirdre’s presence on the linguistics scene in London and the significance of her work in establishing the new sub-discipline of pragmatics. This work shaped the development of our thinking (hence our research and teaching) on a range of linguistic issues, especially in the realm of meaning.
