This starting point will influence the hearer’s latter understanding. 2 Thematisation(主位化) refers to the linear organization of texts. 3 Each simple sentence has a theme-the starting point of the structure and a rheme, everything else that follows in the sentence 4 Theme is usually the left-most constituent in the sentence. 5 We find theme used sometimes to refer to the grammatical subjects of a series of sentences as in a remark by Katz. But theme is not the grammatical subject. 6 Stagging (视角)often involves natural order(自然顺序) and point of view(视点) Natural order is for the presentation of a narrative sequence of events.
