The text coherence is characterized for having a defined structure and correlation among its sentences and ideas. Established patterns such as Theme and Rheme and thematic choices are used to give a coherent sense to the text. But these resources are nor the only ones, cohesive ties are other elements which combined with structural ones "give sense", in other words, they give texture to the text. Texture then is considered what makes a text a real text instead of a group of sentences with no relation among them.
Definitions Of Theme And Rheme
Theme: The main idea that you are
talking about and lets the reader or listener know what the clause is going to
be about.
Rheme: What you say about the main idea.
Rheme: What you say about the main idea.
Patterns
of the thematic progression
Constant
A common Theme is shared by Rhemes.
Cohesive ties are very used to replace
the subject and not be repetitive.
Usually found in textbooks,
descriptions, etc.
Linear
The Rheme of one clause is taken up as
Theme of the subsequent clause.
Split
Rheme
The Rheme of a clause has two
components, each of which is taken in turn as Theme of a subsequent
clause.
Derived
Theme
When two or more Themes alternate within
one text. It is usually found in large texts.
