Radio interviews: An analysis through the Relevance theory

Abstract

The central aim of this article is to describe radio interview techniques from the perspective of the radio interviewer’s discourse, and their effects from the perspective of the Relevance theory (SPERBER and WILSON, 1995; SILVEIRA e FELTES, 2002). The theoretical framework was applied to a radio interview, revealing the constitutive elements of the theory, based on an ostensive-inferential model of communication.
