The volume addresses the role of salience in discourse and provides
broad coverage of various perspectives on and functions of
discourse salience. The range of multidisciplinary approaches
adopted in the volume differ with regard to the underlying
theoretical proposals and foci of research. The topics range from
(i) entity-based salience to (ii) discourse-structural salience of
utterances to (iii) extra-linguistic factors of salience in
discourse. Accordingly, the volume is organized into three
sections. Part I focuses on discourse referents and the choice of
referring expressions. The contributions cover issues such as
salience and demonstrativity in Russian, discourse salience and
grammatical voice in the West Siberian language Eastern Khanty, the
joined information of syntactic and semantic prominence, and a
computational framework of salience metrics. The contributions to
Part II are concerned with linguistic structures at or above the
clause level. The salience of discourse segments is addressed with
respect to the translation of discourse relations and position of
verb arguments in Old High German. Part III extends the scope
beyond purely linguistic phenomena and deals with the role of
extra-linguistic salience in discourse processing. Visual salience
in a situated-dialog context, salience marking by hypertextual
links, and extra-linguistic salience derived from a mental
representation of the described situation are all discussed here.
The notion of salience is of relevance to discourse studies in
theoretical linguistics, computational linguistics, as well as
psycholinguistics.
