| Definition | the most salient arguments associated with a predication. Example: in Sally threw the letter into the wastebasket, Sally and the letter are construed as the most salient arguments; in The letter was thrown into the wastebasket, only the letter is construed as a salient argument. When there are two core arguments, the more salient argument is the subject and the less salient argument is the object. Core arguments are expressed by core argument phrases. (Section 6.1.1) |
