| Abstract | ||
| The linguistic theory is no more confined to the recognition of the sentence as the largest unit that can be explored by what is called a sentential grammar. Linguistics can not proceed very far without a realization of units above the sentence (Cook, 1995:25). The difficulty of creating linguistic 'models' from which a kind of grammar of units beyond the sentence could be worked out may be the main reason why little work has been done in this concern (Chapman, 2002:104). However, recently much attention has been given to know enough about how sentences build up into larger units (see Dijk, 2003:76). Many approaches have been suggested, especially, in text-linguistics to go through this point. Yet, every one is accustomed to recognize and name units beyond the sentence: the paragraph in prose, the stanza in verse, such divisions are often marked graphologically. Beyond these we have more divisions such as: chapters, scenes, and acts, cantos and books, depending upon the different literary 'kinds' (Chapman, 2002:107). This paper is concerned at first hand with the structural building of the paragraph as a macro-sentence or meta-sentence. Second, it is concerned with the English Department/ third stage students' recognition of the paragraph as a structural unit and their ability of setting off what they read into paragraphs. | ||
