Abstract

Some structures and functions of titles are examined in two types ot' Old English texts, the "narrative" and the "directive". The functions of the titles as topics of the texts are followed up in the initial, or "topical", sentences. Finally the relation of topic to the sentence theme and rheme is established. Observations are also made on continuity in the organization of written texts.
