Comment (linguistics)
In linguistics, the topic, or theme, of a sentence is what is being talked about, and the comment (rheme or focus) is what is being said about the topic. This division into old vs. new content is called information structure. It is generally agreed that clauses are divided into topic vs. comment, but in certain cases the boundary between them depends on which specific grammatical theory is being used to analyze the sentence. Topic, which is defined by pragmatic considerations, is a distinct concept from grammatical subject, which is defined by syntax. In any given sentence these may be the same, but they need not be. For example, in the sentence "As for the little girl, the dog bit her", the subject is "the dog" but the topic is "the little girl". Topic and subject are also distinct concepts from agent (or actor)—the "doer", which is defined by semantics. In English clauses with a verb in the passive voice, for instance, the topic is typically the subject, while the agent m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
ACOMMENT
''aCOMMENT'' was an early Australian modernist avant-garde literary "little magazine" of the 1940s published in Melbourne by Cecily Crozier. It ran to twenty-six, mostly quarterly, issues from 1940 to 1947. History Cecily Crozier, recently returned with her mother to Australia at the commencement of WW2, noted in 1940 that Melbourne had no avant-garde literary magazine. Despite wartime being inopportune for the launch of such a venture she, with her cousins Sylvia, Eila and Irvine Heber Green (1913–1997) in September that year published ''Comment,'' sometimes subtitled "A Journal of Poetry, Art, Literature and Social Comment" and soon retitled ''aCOMMENT''; the title set thus on each cover, with a small lower-case 'a' embedded within, most frequently, the all-capitals word 'COMMENT'. It appeared one month before its better known contemporary, '' Angry Penguins'', with which it shared many of its contributors, and which it outlived by a year. The mainstream press was slow t ...

Annotation
An annotation is extra information associated with a particular point in a document or other piece of information. It can be a note that includes a comment or explanation. Annotations are sometimes presented in the margin of book pages. For annotations of different digital media, see web annotation and text annotation. Literature and education Textual scholarship Textual scholarship is a discipline that often uses the technique of annotation to describe or add additional historical context to texts and physical documents to make it easier to understand. Student uses Students often highlight passages in books in order to refer back to key phrases easily, or add marginalia to aid studying. Annotated bibliographies add commentary on the relevance or quality of each source, in addition to the usual bibliographic information that merely identifies the source. Mathematical expression annotation Mathematical expressions (symbols and formulae) can be annotated with their natura ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
