| Abstract | ||
| This study investigates themes and rhemes in English structurally and intonationally. This is first done by surveying themes, rhemes and the various tones accompanying them in English. The study hypothesizes that the advanced EFL learners in Iraq face difficulties in producing and recognizing themes and rhemes in English. To verify the hypothesis, two tests are designed and examined by a certain jury for their validity, easiness/difficulty and time of responding. The tests measure the subjects' productive and recognitive abilities of themes, rhemes and their tones. The study concludes that our advanced EFL learners face difficulties on the recognition and production sides. Nevertheless, the females prove to be more competent than the males on both types of skills, and fourth year subjects prove to be also competent. The weakness that our learners face is sometimes due to inter and at other times to intra causes. | ||
