• Resumen

  • This article deals with context effects in discourse processing. It presents some of the theoretical problems that have arisen over the past twenty years from the ongoing interchange of ideas among the various branches of the cognitives sciences (linguistics, psycholinguistics, and artificial intelligence) . Following a review of the different understandings of the term « context », particularly in linguistics and psycholinguistics, the article discusses some of the fundamental issues raised when the concept of context is used as a basis for explaining how a speaker-listener processes language. The article then examines the original theoretical work by Clark and Marshall (1981) and Sperber and Wilson (1986), whose contributions have made it possible within the past decade to precisely describe the role of context in discourse processing. The article ends by bringing together some points likely to contribute to the advancement of formal theories in this field.
