Researching Thematic Development in Spoken Discourse

Original language description

This article examines various issues arrising when researching thematic development in spoken discourse. More specifically, we review certain theoretical options that have been presented in recent academic papers and apply them to the analysis of the theme-rheme line running through spontaneous spoken dialogues with the aim of clarifying the principles behind the thematic development in these types of texts. Our data consist of both Czech and English dialogues occurring in authentic social interaction and involving at least two people. Therefore we are able to compare the suitability of these methods for researching thematic development in the two languages. Furthermore, since the participants in the dialogues are exclusively native speakers, it is hoped that the findings will have practical relevance for language teachers.
