ARTICLE: ON THE GLOBAL TEXTUAL THEME AND OTHER TEXTUAL HYPERTHEMES

Summary/Abstract: Renata Pípalová: ON THE GLOBAL TEXTUAL THEME AND OTHER TEXTUAL HYPERTHEMES The paper distinguishes between two homonymous terms, theme in the so called Functional Sentence Perspective and the Theme in the textual (cognitive) sense. Focussing on the latter, it presents a hierarchy of Textual Themes which, depending particularly on the text type in question involves the Global Theme, the Chapter Theme, the Section Theme, the Paragraph Group Theme and the Paragraph Theme. Textual Themes, whatever their scopes, have their content and structural aspects. In the paper, the former is linked to the framework of communicative event. The analysis of the latter reveals clearly recursive tendencies in text macrostructure.
