The book is written with both theoretical and descriptive goals and aims to synthesize andrevise current approaches to pragmatic functions. In addition, TTI explains that different thematic constructions in natural language reveal different discourse strategies related to point of view and speaker subjectivity, which shows the mutually supportive role of form and discourse function vis-á-vis each other. The book's value is enhanced by the use of natural language corpora, the Lancaster IBM Spoken English Corpus (LIBMSEC), and by running multivariate statistical tests, taking into account both segmental and suprasegmental features. The bibliography lists more than 600 publications providing ample material for further research into an integrated theory of language and its use. The indexes provide easy access to most authors mentioned and to the major concepts covered. 410 0$aPragmatics & beyond ;$vnew ser. 71. 606 $aEnglish language$xTopic and comment 606 $aEnglish language$xDiscourse analysis 606 $aEnglish language$xGrammar, Generative 606 $aEnglish language$xSentences 615 0$aEnglish language$xTopic and comment. 615 0$aEnglish language$xDiscourse analysis. 615 0$aEnglish language$xGrammar, Generative. 615 0$aEnglish language$xSentences. 676 $a425 686 $aHF 180$2rvk 700 $aGomez-Gonzalez$b Maria A$01197724 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961794903321 996 $aThe theme-topic interface$94346511 997 $aUNINA
