Hierarchy of salience and discourse analysis and production
Eva Hajičová, Petr Kuboň, Vladislav Kuboň · 1990
The hierarchy of salience of the items of the knowledge assumed by the speaker to be shared by him and by the hearer constitutes one aspect of a dynamic account of discourse (Sect. 1). It is claimed that a representation of this hierarchy is a good support for discourse analysis (reference assignement, Sect. 2) and for discourse production (pronominalization, definite description, Sect. 3).
