Role of Circumstantial Elements in the Text Coherence in Modern Russian
The circumstantial phrase is usually considered as an optional element in a sentence. We propose a semantico-syntactic definition of the circumstantial, which places the other constituents of the sentence in the space it has delimited. We consider as circumstantial: time, place and cause phrases (real cause, concession, purpose, condition). In an utterance, a circumstantial phrase may have several informative functions : it may be the theme ; in this case, it serves as an environment for the Content of the utterance, or it is the Topic and we show how Russian language proceeds to topicalise a circumstantial constituent even though an adverb or a simple phrase cannot be separated from the rest of the utterance by a comma. The circumstantial phrase can be the Rheme: it is one of the «new» elements or it is THE new element of the utterance. We shall particularly analyse utterances which contain a VP as take place, unfold, etc. In this type of utterances, when only the circumstantial element is informative, it makes us wonder whether we deal with a circumstantial phrase or with a complement (a «specifier», as we call this kind of constituent). Thus, we show that circumstantial phrases play an important role in text coherence: if we take them off, the utterance remains grammatical ly correct, whereas the communication is disturbed.
