Abstract: As a special form of written style, otherpreface is usually written by an authority in the relevant professional field, which is meant to introduce or comment on the content of the book. This paper selects thirtyfive otherprefaces in Chinese monographs as the corpus, and it firstly analyzes the generic elements which are generally contained in the monographs based on the Generic Structure Potential. However, because of the different relevance degrees of these elements in association to the readers understanding on the book itself, based on the Relevance theory, this paper gets the very relevant elements: field statement, book description, book features, book values and book weakness. The weakly relevant elements are: relationship statement, book author introduction and book author evaluation. The irrelevant elements are: prefacewriting motivation, selfabasement, research anticipation, publication congratulation and book recommendation.

Key words: otherpreface, Chinese monographs, generic elements, cognitive pragmatic, relevance degree
