This paper makes a general review of the typical criticisms of Relevance Theory proposed mainly by the linguistic field in China in the past over twenty years.Those criticisms are generally divided into six types concerning such aspects as relevance and the principle of relevance,the certainty and idealization of utterance comprehension,over-generality,intentionality and the belief system,social dimensions,and non-falsibility.With the combination of some scholars’ viewpoints,this paper makes comments on and analysis of those criticisms,holding that some criticisms are somewhat reasonable,while others result from the misunderstandings of Relevance Theory on the part of the readers.The criticisms against Relevance Theory were generally proposed by the Chinese scholars and conducted mainly in the 1900s.By comparison,there are not so many criticisms from the foregin scholars.Up to now,most of those criticisms have been generally made in an incidental and macroscopic way.We should reinforce the criticisms of Relevance Theory in a special and microscopic way,with the intention of further development and impovement of Relevance Theory.
