Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to offer an analysis of the notion of covert communication within the framework of Relevance Theory. We examine different mechanisms of covert information transmission in terms of the kind of stimulus employed, ostensive or non-ostensive, and the different interpretative processes they bring about.
