TY - JOUR ID - 342977 AU - Chamonikolasová, Jana PY - 1985 TI - The internal structure, communicative value and prosodic weight of the English object JF - Brno Studies in English 16 VL - 16 IS - 1 SP - 49-62 EP - 49-62 PB - MU SN - 00682705 KW - object KW - internal structure KW - communicative and prosodic importance N2 - The paper is a study of the communicative importance of the object in an English sentence. It analyzes objects in scripted spoken text from the viewpoint of functional sentence perspective (FSP) and intonation. The degree of communicative dynamism and the degree of prosodic weight carried by an object is related to the object's internal structure (i.e. the complexity of the noun phrase functioning as object). Complex objects tend to carry higher degrees of communicative dynamism and prosodic weight than simple objects. However, under certain conditions even very simple objects (e.g. pronominal objects) become heavily accentuated and perform the function of the rheme proper of the sentence. ER -
