Welcome to Mellissa's Page.

Here is some information about Theme:

Text and paragraph previews are part of a much bigger system of organisation called theme. Theme can be described as the 'starting point' for a text, paragraph or clause.

Theme operates at a variety of levels and play an important role in orientating readers (and listeners) to how the topic is being developed. For example, text previews function as the starting point or theme of a whole text, and orient the reader to the paragraph previews that are likely to follow. Similarly, paragraph previews function as the starting point or theme of a paragraph, and orient readers to the point or topic that is going to be developed in that paragraph.

Individual clauses also have a starting point or theme. The choice and patterning of clause level Themes across a paragraph or text also help organise meaning and structure text in different ways.

I hope this has taught you a little more about Themes : )
