| Summary: | The paper discusses two realization forms of rhematic subjects, initial rhematic subjects construed
with a presentation verb and an optional scene-setting adverbial, and rhematic subjects in the underlying
form of cleft-constructions. The two forms are examined from the viewpoint of their potential
synonymy, the points in focus being their FSP features with respect to their assignment to
the dynamic semantic scale and their textual roles. The aim of the paper is to find out to what extent
the two constructions of rhematic subjects are differentiated or exchangeable. |
