Example text

The relative/purpose clause, which is the rheme proper in the sentence, is in itself a field with a communicative perspective. The relative pronoun (quas) is the theme proper (contextually dependent, referring to its head noun). The subject is thematic and understood (contextually dependent, referring to ego).
