Subject: Pragmatics & Discourse, The Theme-Topic Interface by Gomez-Gonzalez
John Benjamins Publishing announces a new work in Pragmatics & Discourse:
The Theme-Topic Interface.
Evidence from English.
María Ángeles GÓMEZ-GONZÁLEZ (University of Santiago de Compostella)
Pragmatics & Beyond NS 71
US & Canada: 1 55619 949 X / USD 87.00 (Hardcover)

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.
