Dear Relevance List,
Sorry - I missed one: Generative Autonomy. This is the claim that
(autonomous) syntactic structures are generated by an autonomous grammar -
i.e. by one which is separate in some important respects from the rest of
cognition, i.e. a module. That's probably the meaning that Steve had in
mind because it separates cognitive linguists (not just those who do
Langacker's Cognitive Grammar) and functionalists from at least mainstream
generative linguists (i.e. GB/MP). I don't really see what it has to do
with relevance theory as such, but I know it's historically linked to RT.
