Micro Account Of Cerebral Neural Network (CNN) For Relevance Theory

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single neuron in possession of a good potential must be in want of a network. Universally acknowledged as well is one of the most fundamental attributes of being human, i.e., the ability to perceive and produce language.This dissertation reviews Relevance Theory concerning the nature of communication psychologically and tries to relate cognitive neurolinguistics and neurobiology to its assumptions for a physiological support. The author starts with an overview of some of the primary assumptions and principles of relevance theory, which mainly focus on macro-description of the process of utterance interpretation in view of cognitive psychology. He then provides the underlying neurophysiological facts of speech perception to penetrate the micro-realization of relevance theory from perspective of cognitive neuroscience. In the final section, the author briefly suggests the significance of the above approach to both relevance theory, and cognitive neuralinguistics as well.
