> > The Theme-Topic Interface (TTI) gives a useful catalogue of
> > approaches to the concept Theme in the analysis of Natural
> > Language. The book is written with both theoretical and descriptive
> > goals and aims to synthesize and revise 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.
