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.

Der Band vereint neueste, empirisch abgesicherte Forschung zu den Zusammenhängen zwischen Genus, Sexus und der sozialen Kategorie Gender. Reflektiert werden sprachliche Erscheinungen auf der Wortebene, im Bereich der Syntax und Textkohärenz und soziopragmatische sowie diskurstheoretische Fragen. Die wortzentrierten Beiträge umfassen Untersuchungen zu genderstereotypen Bedeutungsangaben in Wörterbüchern, zur in-Movierung bei Anglizismen und zur Reichweite des Genus-Sexus-Prinzips bei Tierbezeichnungen. Syntaktische Fragestellungen zielen auf anaphorische Wiederaufnahmephänomene und deren innersprachliche und pragmatische Bedingungen. Dies betrifft hybride Nomina und Epikoina (das Kind › es/?er; das Mädchen › es/sie) ebenso wie Koreferenzphänomene auf der Phrasenebene (Herr Meier und Frau Schmid › die beiden Lehrer/*Lehrerinnen). Soziopragmatische Aspekte werden anhand dialektaler Genus-Sexus-Diskordanzen vom Typ das Emma beleuchtet; auch syntaktische Serialisierungspräferenzen (Mann und Frau, Mama und Papa) variieren entlang sozio-pragmatischer Faktoren. Auf Diskurse rekurriert die Untersuchung zu typischen Argumentationsmustern gegen genderneutrale Sprache. Die Einstellungen nicht-binärer Personen zu gendersensiblem Sprachgebrauch spiegeln aktuelle sprachkritische Diskurse. Der Band ist eine hervorragende Informationsquelle für alle, die qualitativ hochwertige linguistische Argumentation und empirische Daten zu den komplexen Zusammenhängen zwischen Sprache und Geschlecht suchen. This volume brings together the latest empirical research on the connections between grammatical gender, natural gender, and the social category of gender. This trio operates on various levels: lexically and semantically, morphologically, syntactically, pragmatically, and in texts and discourse. These categories prove to be deeply entrenched within the German lexis and grammar. They reflect old orders of gender but also how they have transformed.
