Theme and rheme structure of the speech, the theory of actual division of the sentence and the problem of architext

Abstract

In the article we will analyze the theory of actual division of the sentence and its connections to the problem of architext. Conceptualization and modeling of architext mainly relies on the general basis of dialogue, consequently we should refer to the theme and rheme structure that is originally and contextually connected to the sentence, and it leads us to the theory of actual division of the sentence. More specifically, the sentence as a structure was “not enough” for the theme and rheme structure as a linguistic phenomenon, consequently it is not also enough just to transfer the problematic issue from sentence level to the context one. The most common definition of the architext reveals its connection to the theme and rheme structure. Therefore, the renewal of the system of actual division the sentence is utterly important. The renewal that carries out the function of this transformation is possible by means of compositional speech forms.
