Kathryn Report post Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) Well I saw you looking, BD, and thought the same! Well salience means the relative importance of details when you're communicating something, so I guess your 3rd question refers to the way we select the most important information when we're telling a story. For example if I gave you an account of my day I would probably tell you that I met a friend and went shopping but not what colour socks I had on. Grammatical accuracy covers a lot of things: for example word order in sentences, putting plural 's' on the end of words, using the correct tense - past or present and the correct fom of the verb (e.g. caught not catched), using pronouns: e.g. "I" or "you".
