Abstract
We repudiate Dodwell's claim that his relational model is predictively more accurate than our Garner-based treatment of AT. We claim instead, that his case is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the essentials of Garner's complex thesis, together with a misreading of our own report. Rather than accept his notion of a single continuum of salience as providing for the genesis of structure, we argue instead that his ‘single continuum’ compounds and confounds at least two continua which may be understood only where the criteria of judgement are made explicit.Keywords
