Italian term or phrase: il discorso \"rema\"
Contesto:

Le frasi marcate

Quando si vuole mettere in evidenza un elemento della frase per marcarlo enfaticamente basterà, nel caso di un discorso orale, sottolineare prosodicamente l’elemento in questione. Nel caso di un discorso scritto, in cui non è sempre possibile riprodurre i tratti prosodici, possiamo utilizzare diverse procedure sintattiche (tipiche dell'orale ma pienamente legittime nei testi scritti di media formalità):

a. spostare l’elemento in fondo alla frase (vedi 7.1 per il caso del soggetto): (Io) vado > Vado io; Matteo è partito > È partito Matteo; Lui ha ragione > Ha ragione lui;

b. mettere in evidenza, all’inizio o alla fine (ovvero, a sinistra o a destra del verbo) , l’elemento "noto" (vedi 7.1) separandolo dal resto della frase per mezzo di una pausa. La parte restante della frase svilupperà quindi il discorso "nuovo" o "rema", cioè l’informazione nuova che si vuole dare a proposito dell’elemento evidenziato a "tema".

Grazie Mille,

the "rheme" discourse
Explanation:
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/rheme


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. That the information structure of a clause is divided in this way is generally agreed on, but the boundary between topic/theme and comment/rheme/focus depends on grammatical theory.
