  • Breznik - predhodnik praške teorije členitve po aktualnosti
    Vidovič-Muha, Ada
    As early as in 1908 in his paper on word order in speech, Anton Breznik also discussed the meaning of the sentence in relation to the basic text unit - the spoken paragraph, thus giving sense to ... relations of dependency in the linguistic structure. During the thirties and forties and mainly owing to Vilém Mathesius, the functionalist linguistics of The Prague Linguistic Circle developed the question of 'free word order' as Breznik named the possibility of changing the word order in function of "each respective meaning of the sentence", into the most relevant European theory of (text) structuring. According to Breznik, the criterion for the use of free word order in written text is the spoken word (stresses within the sentence). Accordingly, the semantic interlacing of which is stressed and not stressed inspeech, unknown in relation to the known in text and vice-versa, should match the word order which maintains this distinction also in the written text. This allows for a distinction between the so-called cataphoric clausal sentences with predicted sentence stress and the core positioned at the beginning of the (next) clausal sentence, and those with unpredicted sentence stress and the core positioned at the end of the clausal sentence. This rule is valid both for spoken and for written communication channels.
