Ternopil National Pedagogical University English Philology Department “Discourse analysis” Individual research work Done by: Roman Serniak EPh - 42 Ternopil - 2008 Fairy tale - “THE PRINCESS AND THE PEA” 1. COHERENCE. Theme - Rheme progression Th1 (Prince) Rh1 (wanted to marry a princess); Th2 (young girl) Rh2 (was so wet); Th3 (I’m a real princess) Rh3 (We’ll see about that); Th4 (The bed is ready) Rh4 (Put a pea on the bed). Having analyzed the excerpt from the fairy-tale “The Princess and the Pea”, I have come to the conclusion that here we have an example of “simple linear progression” of Theme and Rheme. This kind of Theme - Rheme progression is comparatively simple and uncomplicated in its structure. Thus, every Rheme (beginning from the first one) becomes the Theme of the subsequent clause.
