Abstract

ORIG CZ

V originále

The domain of the Firbasian theory of functional sentence perspective (FSP) has been explored mostly on the sentential level (Firbas 1992; Svoboda 1983). Recently, however, attention has been paid also to the functional picture of higher hierarchical levels of text (Adam 2009, Drápela 2011; cf. Firbas 1995). Research has shown that an FSP analysis of a distributional macrofield (a paragraph, a chapter) is a promising step taken in the study of FSP and that it can reveal significant characteristic features of a whole text. The paper tries to throw light on the operation of the dynamic semantic tracks and on their interpretative function in FSP, illustrating the method on a text extracted from the New Testament where an appropriate FSP analysis would not be otherwise unequivocal. The paper also sets out to demonstrate that texts generally manifest inner qualities that are capable of distributing the degrees of communicative dynamism over higher hierarchical units, above all the functional units within the rhematic layer of the text.

In Czech
