요약	Cultural salience analysis is the analytical step that turns raw free-list data into a ranked measure of how culturally central each item is, by combining two signals that free lists capture for free: how often an item is mentioned and how early it appears in informants' lists. The standard estimator is Smith's salience index S, which credits each item for being both common across people and prominent in recall, then averages that credit over the whole sample. Breaking salience out by code or subgroup further reveals how the importance of items shifts across genders, ages, expertise levels, or cultural groups.	Rank-order elicitation asks each informant to place a set of items into a complete order on a single criterion — from most to least important, severe, preferred, or typical — so that the whole domain is captured in one ordinal judgment per person. Unlike paired comparison, which gathers many local two-item choices, ranking obtains the global order directly, trading some redundancy for speed. Aggregating the individual rankings produces a group ordering, while a concordance statistic measures how strongly the informants agree.
