"Salience" is a broader term than "emphasis". Emphatic uses of a word are
salient, but so are some non-emphatic uses of the same word. The first
occurrence of a name in a narrative is salient, for example, but it may not
be particularly emphatic. Calling a particular use of a name "salient"
simply means that the name stands out for some reason (perhaps because it
is emphatic, but perhaps for some other reason) in the context in question.
