Unveiling the Power of Thematic Structure in Speech Communication ๐ค
Theme and rheme are two important parts of any speech or text, according to the theory of functional grammar. The researchers in this paper focused on analyzing the thematic structure in speech texts, using the famous speech "I have a dream" as an example. They found that understanding the theme of a speech helps in analyzing its overall message and progression. This approach can be useful in studying how speeches are structured and how they convey their intended meaning.
