Název v původním jazyce

Quality bearers, phenomena, and referential importance: A comparative study

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This study aims at finding a correlation between the Firbasian phenomenon occurring on the scene and the quality bearer on the one hand, and the idea of referential importance as developed by Wallace Chafe on the other. The expected result is that the more a referent is important in the flow of communication, the smaller the proportion of phenomena will be. Phenomenon functions as a rheme in a sentence, sometimes even as the rheme proper; quality bearer is a theme and can be either context dependent or context independent. This will be compared to Chafe’s referential importance. In his theory of communication flow, he proposed the idea of the light subject constraint. It presupposes that, in general, subjects are only lightly loaded with information, in Firbasian terms, have low communicative dynamism. To deal with instances where subjects are newly introduced onto the scene, he proposed the idea of referential importance. Chafe divided subjects into three groups: primary, secondary and trivial.
