Thank you so much! This will be my report on my Translation subject but I can't understand thematization in our handout and gladly, I found this video which helps me a lot to understand it.
I think the whole thing is the theme, because usually theme is the beginning part of a clause. Not sure it can be used to divide a phrase... But I may be wrong
@@AlexJTan thank you. That was what came to mind first but . I was thinking “just the issue of child labour” is the theme. Since “in the country “ is just an additional information. And if that’s the case, any element that comes after the topical theme is part of the rheme. I’m confused 🫤
09:50 Sentence number two isn’t correct. A circumstance is a topical theme ONLY when it occurs ALONE and cannot be combined with a participant or process. In the example you provided, “In the morning” is a textual theme, not a topical. For a theme to be topical, it cannot occur with another participant or process
@@AlexJTan I think Halliday says that a topical could be a circumstance, a participant or process with the condition each of them occurs alone, eg. (In this paintings on the the wall) is my obsession.
Very helpful. Thank you so much. Please is the a book you could recommend? I’m conducting a research on this and “references” would be needed to make my point valid
Suzanne Eggins' An Introduction to Systemic Functional Linguistics is a good one if you don't want to take ref directly from Halliday and Matthiessen, although I suggest you check it out, too
I would to ask how to determine theme and rheme for this sentence, Sis : "Next, we learn about paragraph unity, here we discuss about paragraphs that have unity and are mutually sustainable". Is "Next we" a type of topical theme?
It's a marked one. The only time a theme is said to be unmarked is when the Topical Theme is the subject of the clause. In, for example, "What colour is the book?" the subject is "the book", not "what colour". Usually, it is better to change the clause into a declarative to see what type of participant(s) you have (a subject or an object/complement). It is of course not effective and can be time-consuming, but it will help in the identification process, especially when you just start to learn this. Hope it helps! :)
Absolutely helpful! You saved my grammar final exam!!!

Thank you, we worked with this in Syntax and I was completely lost
Brief but broad and complete explanation.
Great explanation!
Mind blowing
In the phrase “the issue of child labour in the country “ what can we say is the topical theme? And where can I place the rest ?

@@AlexJTan Thank you very much
Tremendously helpful.
Hey! Why did you stop making videos??
Is the same a marked/unmarked topical theme as marked/unmarked theme? Thank you! You saved my mid-term.
I suppose so, because markedness is seen from the topical theme, not the other types of theme.
@@AlexJTan thank you!
sngat membantu sekali mba, ini saya lagi belajar untuk uas, terima kasih mbak atas penjelasannya
Terima kasih 🙏🙏
Sangat membantu.. lanjut terus mbakkk😅🙏
I would to ask how to determine theme and rheme for this sentence, Sis :
"Next, we learn about paragraph unity, here we discuss about paragraphs that have unity and are mutually sustainable".
Is "Next we" a type of topical theme?
the topical theme is "we." The word "next" serves as structural theme (textual), and the rest of the sentence is the rheme
Is "who" (in the sentence Who smokes? Dodo smokes) the unmarked theme?
Since it serves as a subject of the sentence, it is unmarked
how about "sit down" in imperatives 🥺
what if "Oh, honestly it saved my life in hospital". what type of theme is it?
There are 2 types of themes there: "honestly" is the interpersonal theme and "it" is the topical theme
Thank you!!
Did “what colour” an unmarked theme or marked theme?
It's a marked one. The only time a theme is said to be unmarked is when the Topical Theme is the subject of the clause. In, for example, "What colour is the book?" the subject is "the book", not "what colour".
Usually, it is better to change the clause into a declarative to see what type of participant(s) you have (a subject or an object/complement). It is of course not effective and can be time-consuming, but it will help in the identification process, especially when you just start to learn this.

Is the same topical as ideation ?
Yes, topical theme carries the main idea of the clause
