Abstract

The aims of this paper are to discuss different approaches to the notion of theme and to show how parallel corpora can successfully be used for cross-linguistic analyses of theme. The realisation of theme is language-specific which can be problematic for contrastive studies of thematic structures. In this paper, I start by describing theme in English following Systemic Functional Grammar (Halliday 1994) and discuss questions concerning the delimitation of the theme from the rheme in English, which is relevant also for monolingual and cross-linguistic studies. In a brief overview of various approaches to theme in other languages, monolingual as well as cross-linguistic, I then demonstrate that the positions taken to theme differ and the original approach, which is English-based, may have to be modified to suit other languages simply because different languages have different ways of realising this function.
