Abstract

Abstract

Enlightened by German scholars and the Prague School, systemicists have pushed forward the research on Theme-Rheme structure further, more detailed and thorough than ever.However, the definition of multiple Theme needs better justification, and the description of the serial structure of multiple Theme is not so comprehensive as to include the realization of some typical English patterns.This paper is intended to make an analysis of the problems of multiple Theme proposed by Halliday from three perspectives.
- multiple Theme,
- conflation,
- boundary,
- Systemic Functional Grammar
