Peer reviewedMann, William C.; Thompson, Sandra A. – Discourse Processes, 1986
Examines two texts showing that the relational propositions (frequently implicit) that arise out of a combination of independent clauses involve every clause and that they occur in a pattern of propositions that connects all of the clauses together. Shows how relational propositions are essential to the functioning of the text. (HTH)
