 Reconciling defaultness with salience may, however, be problematic in particular cases, leading to the proposal of the degrees of defaultness (Giora &amp; Givoni 2015), and to a rather counterintuitive diluting of the concept of a default. For example, sarcasm can rely on non-salient but default interpretation – non-salient when the interpretation is compositionally put together instead of being processed as a conventionalised unit.
