Broader concept
Example
- Steedman (2000a) characterizes the notions of theme and rheme more formally by stating that a theme presupposes a rheme alternative set in the sense of Rooth (1992) while a rheme restricts this set. (White, Clark & Moore, 2010)
- The rheme provides the core contribution of the proposition to the discourse--the material the listener is unlikely to predict from context. (Hiyakumoto, Prevost & Cassell, 1997)
- The theme of the proposition represents a link to prior utterances whereas the rheme provides the core contribution--roughly the new or interesting part--of the proposition. (Hiyakumoto, Prevost & Cassell, 1997)
