Discourse Representation Theory is a dynamic semantics theory (DRT). It breaks away from the restriction of first-order predicate logic and extends the processing object to discourse above a sentence. The study of natural language by DRT involves not only the truth condition of sentences, but also the specific context, which is in line with the cognitive process of understanding language. The application of DRT in College English reading teaching helps students understand the cognitive relationship between sentences in a text and helps students understand the connotation of a text.
