Abstract

V originále

In the Brno approach to the theory of Functional Sentence Perspective (FSP), four factors have been identified to work in mutual cooperation in rendering the final functional perspective of an utterance: actual linear arrangement of sentence elements, their dynamic semantic functions (the semantic factor), context, and – in spoken discourse – prosodic features. In a discussion of the semantic factor, Jan Firbas briefly describes in his monograph of 1992 the operation of the so-called suggestive semantic clue. Since this term has received little attention elsewhere, the author of the present paper attempts to show that it represents one of the fundamental concepts in FSP analysis in that it is not only closely attached to the important concept of semantic homogeneity, but also an FSP signal (or an FSP factor?) capable of contributing significantly to the correct resolution of the communicative functions of sentence elements.
