English Discourse and Pragmatics - Assignment 4

James Madison University

[This assignment will be marked only as a sufficient or insufficient effort.]



Find an example of a sentential utterance in a linguistic context, and then use the analysis in the Reinhart paper to either identify the sentence topic or determine that there is no sentence topic in that sentence. What, if anything was the topic? Does this analysis seem reasonable? Submit your answers to these questions with an accompanying explanation of how you came to these conclusions. Include too the example itself, along with enough context to allow someone else to figure out the sentence topic.
