Functional perspective and text types. Variants of textual construction in Raymond Queneau's Exercises in Style

Based on the Prague School theory of functional sentence perspective, this essay examines the possible extension of FSP to the study of the information structure of the text. Following Firbas' theory concerning the existence of a basic distribution of communicative dynamism in language, and of deviations from it in actual utterances, the analysis of Raymond Queneau's Exercises in Style (1947) intends to show that each variant of the first, unmarked text (Notations) deviates from that model in a specific way with respect to theme - rheme opposition and thematic progression. These aspects of the particular texts appear to be determined by certain typological features, such as genre, style, or the speaker's attitude.

Keywords: functional sentence perspective; theme-rheme; thematic progression; text types; Queneau; Exercises in Style
