This paper makes an analysis of context selection in written texts within the framework of relevance theory proposed by Sperber & Wilson.It concentrates on how context in written texts constrains utterance production by the writer and its understanding by the reader,and concludes that successful communication depends on appropriate choice of context by both the writer and the reader.With the analysis,this paper aims to indicate that relevance theory is of vital importance for further studies of utterance production presented in written texts and its understanding.
