The cognitive concept of prominence is increasingly seen as key to
understanding the organisation of grammar. This volume explores the
encoding of prominence in languages with different typological
profiles from across the Austronesian family. The individual
studies demonstrate the range of ways in which prominence is
relevant to understanding grammatical asymmetries at different
levels of grammatical structure, from discourse and information
structure to argument expression and alternation and
socio-pragmatics. At the same time, similarities and common themes
across contributions point to cross-linguistic tendencies that
underpin the conventionalisation of communicative patterns for
coordinating interlocutors' attention, and to points of departure
for further cross-linguistic exploration of how grammatical
asymmetries can be explained through the lens of prominence.
