I am currently attempting my Master's thesis in this area, and I have
Sperber and Wilson's book, among many others.  Primary publications in
this area (written in the late '70s through the '80s) haven't been hard
to find, but reviews of these books (in journals) have been.  If anyone
could supply pointers to such things, I'd appreciate it.

Back to your regularly scheduled debate...
