To begin with a common-sense definition, default interpretation of the speaker's utterance is normally understood to mean salient meaning intended by the speaker, or presumed by the addressee to have been intended, and recovered (a) without the help of inference from the speaker's intentions or (b) without conscious inferential process altogether.
The term "salient" here means the stimulus that directly draws attention due to its stimulus characteristic, be it size, position, color, or luminance (contrast).
Although generally acknowledged as 'gradually creeping on', breathlessness was salient though meant many different things: 'just getting unfit' [PF2 56; PF26:52], 'getting old' [PM08 70] and 'I've always had … things like flu' [PF19 34].
Differential excitation allows to detect the local salient pattern by means of a ratio between the relative intensity difference of the current pixel against its neighbors.
This means that salient estimates of the neighbourhood, like of the object generating the occlusion, propagate into the occlusion regions.
In a court case this week, a barrister had to translate for the judge what the salient text message evidence actually meant, when four young men were accused of air rifle attacks.
In these first trials, a hanging white cup was positioned over the platform (∼30 cm above the water surface), and the platform was set right at, or slightly above the water level, providing the animals with salient clues for a mean of escape.

The average proportion of memories associated with people did not differ significantly between weakly (mean = 0.40) and strongly (mean = 0.52) salient memories (t 9) = 0.906, P < 0.39).
This LC–hippocampal interaction may reflect a means by which salient information is distinguished for subsequent synaptic processing.
This modulation of hippocampal function may reflect a means by which salient information is distinguished by the hippocampus for subsequent synaptic processing.
