Abstract

V originále

The study of information processing has shown that there are two basic ways of how a sentence in the act of communication may be perspectived. Principally, a sentence may introduce a phenomenon to the discourse (and so is perspectived towards the subject) or a sentence says something new, i.e. context-independent about the subject (and is thus perspectived away from the subject). In the theory of functional sentence perspective, the two possible directions are labelled as sentences implementing the Presentation Scale and those implementing the Quality Scale. The present paper explores these two Firbasian basic types of so called dynamic-semantic scales within FSP and also looks at a somewhat special case of a recently identified subtype, the Extended Presentation Scale. The types of dynamic semantic scales are illustrated by both Czech and English examples and commented on in terms of functional linguistics.
