Thanks very much Sean, an excellent presentation of some quite difficult linguistic concepts - you nailed it! I really like all your vids and how you present things in a very accessible way. All very helpful, thanks again, Andy.
Thank you sir your lecture is marvelous even I become so interested to linguistics because of your video. Thank you so much and I really appreciate your work.
From this video I learnt there are three kinds of theme being topical, textual and interpersonal. It is very useful for me to do research in discourse analysis and translation studies as currently I am a PhD student in University of Malaysia. I am not a very academic person but I 've learnt a lot from your video and I will try my best to pursue my doctoral degree.
This video is really helpful!!! however I am facing an issue in applying this theory in analysing some verbless clauses , for instance "Ready! for another coronation... how can we determine the theme of this sentence ? I am really grateful for the hard work you put in simplifying these lessons
The theme is 'Are you', as this is an elliptical clause which is interpreted by listeners as "Are you ready for another coronation?", right? Good luck.
Great video! I was wondering, in the case of "What do you think, Abby?" and "Do you think Abby is coming?" (which, by the way are taken from the video) which are the theme and rheme there?
Hello Sir! Kindly make a detailed video on appraisal theory in SFL and it's practical application. I have exam in coming week ...need your help .... Your video are helping me a lot in securing grades
