 Next, there is one more reason why salience has to be clearly distinguished from defaultness. Let us consider demonstratives. The object referred to by using ‘that’ can be located with the help of (i) the recognition of the speaker’s intention, or (ii) the act of pointing, or even (iii) the presence of a particular prominent object in the visual field of the interlocutors. All these combine to delimit the concept of salience: such an object has to be (made) salient for the linguistic demonstration to succeed. Here salient meaning is entirely, or almost entirely (allowing for the grammatical rendering of e.g., the proximal/distal distinction) determined by the given context and by the speaker’s knowledge that it is the relevant context (see Lewis 1979 on scorekeeping; Cappelen and Dever 2016 for a discussion). What is important for us here is that salience can be produced by the use of a context-dependent term: objects are brought to salience by the use of an indexical. Salience so understood is still compatible with the situation-independent concept of salience discussed above (to distinguish it from defaultness) in that it is the semantic meaning, the character (Kaplan 1989) of the demonstrative that triggers the bringing-to-salience process.
