Summary/Abstract: The chapter presents theoretical stances and selected empirical studies on the role of context in processing non-literal, indirect and ambiguous statements. The author considers indirect speech acts, metaphors, irony and ambiguity with the role of context (both linguistic and non-linguistic) in their comprehension. This overview confirms the assumptions of the theory of conversational inference and the interaction of two areas posited by researchers: semantics and language pragmatics.
