The main body of the paper consists of a detailed analysis of sentence connexion, i.e. the logical relationship between sentences and larger chunks of text, performed on a newspaper leader article. The results of this local analysis are then related to the global organisation of text structure with components such as macro- and super-structure by way of interpreting them in terms of the psycholinguistics of global text comprehension. The analysis is supplemented by considerations of functional sentence perspective, topic management, and a characterisation of the macro-speech act as primarily subjective with the appropriate surface manifestations.}, number={6}, journal={Alicante Journal of English Studies / Revista Alicantina de Estudios Ingleses}, author={Stein, Dieter and Mattei, Adriana}, year={1993}, month={Nov.}, pages={171–187} }
