6 Conclusions
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We are aware that, along with the rules characterized above, there are other factors that have to be investigated, which are important for different kinds of discourses. This concerns various aspects of the discourse situation, of domain knowledge, of specific textual patterns (with episodes, poetic effects, and so on).</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Factors of these and further kinds can be studied on the basis of the salience degrees, which are typical for basic discourse situations.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> In any case, we may conclude that it is useful for a theory of discourse semantics to reflect the degrees of salience. This makes it possible to distinguish the reference potential of referring expressions and thus the connectedness of the discourse. Discourse analysis of this kind may also be useful for application domains such as text segmentation (in accordance with topics of individual segments), or data mining (specifying texts in which a given topic is actually treated, rather than being just occasionally mentioned).</Paragraph>
