Information structure
The way that information is structured in a sentence. This has been addressed in slightly different ways in functional sentence perspective and Hallidayan linguistics. The sentence, or clause, is divided into a theme (which, in English, commonly starts a clause and deals with 'given' or known information) and a rheme (which normally ends a clause and supplies 'new' information).
