Systemic-Functional Linguistic, PERIODICITY system, Theme in Portuguese, Method of DevelopmentAbstract
The system of periodicity, from the discursive perspective (MARTIN, 1992a; 1992b; 1993; MARTIN; ROSE, 2007) has its origin in the Systemic-Functional Linguistics (SFL) with Halliday’s studies (1979/2002) and refers to the way information flows along a text from the complementarity between Theme and New. In this article, an excerpt of a text of the area of buildings is analyzed and there is an attempt to demonstrate the thematic realization patterns and the strategies used by the author to establish the method of development of the text (FRIES, 1981/1983; MARTIN, 1992b). It follows the hypothesis that the Theme in Portuguese could occur not only as the first element of a clause. The results show that, in the context of the study in question, the thematic organization patterns of the periodicity system also occur by agreement to the Process (MOYANO, 2016). These results aim to contribute to the discussions as well as to encourage new research on the thematic realization in Portuguese.
