BENIERS, Elisabeth. On inference during everyday verbal exchange, and in dilogy, double meaning and allusion. Acta poét [online]. 2009, vol.30, n.1, pp.295-321. ISSN 2448-735X.

This work reviews several aspects related to common verbal communication, understood as a successful collaboration between speaker and listener, or author and reader, and as tending to disambiguation and univocality. Hypotheses concerning the mental representation of words and processing of information received through diverse channels are mentioned in order to show on this background some rhetorical resources used by authors who aim to produce polyvalent texts.
