Abstract:

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.
