Journal Title: Науковий вісник Міжнародного гуманітарного університету. Серія «Філологія» - Year 2017, Vol 30, Issue 1
Abstract
The article summarizes the researches of the actual division of sentence of ХІХ – ХХІ cent. and specifies five means of theme-rheme demarcation. These means are different for different languages as well as for different styles. The question test is treated as the main means while word order and intonation are also very popular and sometimes they are closely connected with the question test. For the first time the question test is viewed diachronically with the usage of actualistic method. The author traces the appearance of the question test within the framework of psychological syntax and its further development in functional syntax. In the naming of questions there is also no unity as questions are called either hypothetical, or diagnostic, or typical. Besides some linguists point out the possibility to put “a question to a question”. The analyzed works give an opportunity to draw a conclusion that the question test is universal practically for all languages comparing with other means because a question can be put to a sentence in any language.
