다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is to examine the relevance of FSP to English, written English in particular. For this purpose, I selected a story of 0'Henry, the famous American Writer Every sentence in the text is checked through devices of which a number are related to the theory of FSP. They are roughly initial group of sentence, theme and rheme, old, and new information, CD degree and marked and unmarked word order, etc.
These devices enable us to check whether or not FSP is a relevant theory for written English.The data in this paper show that more than 70% of sentences in the text are relevant to FSP. The initial group of 46 out of 70% sentences are more or less related to the previous sentence. They are, thus, old in terms of information. The initial position of 24 sentences is occupied by new information but the degree of CD is low.
