对隐喻话语的解释往往导致对涌现属性的归因，这些属性既不是与孤立的单个成分标准地联系在一起，也不是由语义构成的标准规则推导出来的。隐喻解释的充分的语用解释必须解释这些属性是如何推导出来的。利用关联理论的框架，我们提出了一个完全推理的解释，并认为紧急属性的推导不涉及解释普通字面话语所不需要的特殊解释机制。
The interpretation of metaphorical utterances often results in the attribution of emergent properties, which are neither standardly associated with the individual constituents in isolation nor derivable by standard rules of semantic composition. An adequate pragmatic account of metaphor interpretation must explain how these properties are derived. Using the framework of relevance theory, we propose a wholly inferential account, and argue that the derivation of emergent properties involves no special interpretive mechanisms not required for the interpretation of ordinary, literal utterances.
