This paper elucidates a deductive process of Relevance theory through the analysis of the ellipsis on the end of sentences in natural Japanese spoken language. On Relevance theory, humans try to obtain a great contextual effect from new information at smallest processing effort. This paper elaborates how listener reconstructs the ellipsis of the sentences and decodes the speaker's massage; it can be carried out the conversational situation, context, and participants' presuppositions, background, knowledge, experiences and assumptions. The findings of this paper is that there is a difference in interpretation of the ellipsis between the listener who shares the information with the speaker and the listener who doesn't. The listener who shares the background information with the speaker is able to understand the speaker's intention correctly. On the other hand, the listener who doesn't shares the background information with the speaker has to infer the speaker's implications in context and tends to make various interpretations of the ellipsis part. Thus, he/she may misunderstand the speaker's intention.
