"Rachel Gioras book is a most important contribution to the study of the relationships between mind and language, meaning and context, human and environment. She has single handedly lifted a current paradigm out of its hinges and placed it on a new footing, by drawing attention to theoverriding role played by salience in language comprehension, in particular with regard to figurative (non-literal) language. The well-argued plausibility of Gioras model is at least an eye-opener, if not a refreshing alternative, for people subscribing to different paradigms and who are beinghelped not least by the pleasant lightheartedness which is an overall positive feature of Gioras book, making it a good read, even for non-professionals." --J.L. Mey in Lingua, "This book is the most comprehensive and integrated review and analysis available on the central question in the processing of non-literal language: namely, understanding the processes involved in getting from the message expressed to what the speaker intended to convey. In nine well-written,incisive and engaging chapters, Rachel Giora reinterprets the data on which the received wisdom in the field is based, and shows instead that there is obligatory processing of salient meaning, even when a non-salient interpretation of the message is contextually supported. This book is a must readfor anyone interested in indirect language in general, and especially for those interested in our understanding not only of metaphor, irony and idioms, but also of humor and creativity." --Albert Katz, Professor of Psychology, University of Western Ontario, "This is a huge achievement, and a very important book. Giora consistently argues her case elegantly and in meticulous detail, and with more modesty and fairness towards others views than is often the case in cognitive science." --Elena Semino in Journal of Pragmatics, "This cleverly titled and timely book fills a significant gap in the scholarly investigation of humor. Strangely little has been written about the psycholinguistics of the processing of humor (in general, and specifically about its genres: irony, sarcasm, jokes, puns, etc.). Only a part ofGiora's book is dedicated specifically to humor (a long chapter on irony and a shorter one on jokes), but all of it is dead-on in regards to understanding the processing issue of humor...While one may disagree with the specifics of her analyses (and it is only fair to say that many, starting withGibbs and the Relevance Theorists, do) it is clear tha this is a book that no one interested in humor research and in the processing of language can ignore."--Chiara Bucaria, Humor, "Now that these words are penned, the construct of salience should mostdefinitely be on cognitive scientists minds." --Morton Ann Gernsbacher inMetaphor and Symbol, "Giora delights the reader with creative examples from hither and yon,punching home her thesis that salient meanings of words and phrases come to mindno matter what the context.

Kennedy,Professor of Psychology, University of Toronto, She has single-handedly lifted a current paradigm out of its hinges and placed it on a new footing, .. despite the many technical explanations, the book is easy to read and the experiments are easy to follow.

Synopsis
In this volume, Rachel Giora explores how the salient meanings of words--the meanings that stand out as most prominent and accessible in our minds--shape how we think and how we speak. For Giora, salient meanings display interesting effects in both figurative and literal language. In both domains, speakers and writers creatively exploit the possibilities inherent in the fact that, while words have multiple meanings, some meanings are more accessible than others. Of the various meanings we encode in our mental lexicon for a given word or expression, we ascribe greater cognitive priority to some over others. Interestingly, the most salient meaning is not always the literal meaning. Giora argues that it is cognitively prominent salient meanings, rather than literal meanings, that play the most important role in the comprehension and production of language. She shows that even though context begins to affect comprehension immediately, it does so without obstructing the early accessing of salient meanings. Thus, the meaning we first attend to is the salient word meaning, regardless of contextual bias. Knowledge of salient meanings turns out to play a major role, perhaps the most important role, in the process of using and understanding of language. Going beyond the familiar effects of literal meaning and context, the Graded Salience Hypothesis presents the most comprehensive explanation for how we use language for meaning. In this volume, Giora presents her new model for the first time in a book-length treatment, with original and illuminating perspectives that will be of interest to linguists, philosophers, psychologists, and all who want to know more about just how we understand what we mean., How do we learn to produce and comprehend non-literal language? Competing theories have only partially accounted for the variety of language comprehension evoked in metaphor, irony, and jokes. Rachel Giora has developed a novel and comprehensive theory, the Graded Salience Hypothesis, to explain figuative language comprehension. Giora contends that the salience of meanings (i.e., the cognitive priority we ascribe to words encoded in our mental lexicon) has the primary role in language comprehension and production.
