| Citazioni | Of the various structures which, when mapped on to each other, make up a clause, we will consider first the one which gives the clause its character as a message. This is known as THEMATIC structure. We may assume that in all languages the clause has the character of a message; it has some form of organization giving it the status of a communicative event. |
