Abstract
What is intended by the communicator and what is recovered by the addressee could be inconsistent, even if the informative intention is recognized. To account for misunderstandings in emotive communication, an extended relevance theory is proposed by including the analysis of "emotive effects" and "affective intention". The extended relevance theory allows for analyzing the production of emotive misunderstandings. The influences of interlocutors' egocentrism on the expression and recognition of affective intention are also presented.
