This study investigates how the Themes and Theme progressions in a sample of Swedish advanced learners' writing contribute to the method of development in their texts. A comparison is made to a sample of similar writing by British university students. It was found that the advanced learners' sample contains more interactional Themes, which create a dialogic method of development similar to that found in conversational language. Themes and Theme progressions which are typical of expository writing, on the other hand, are used less frequently. These include discourse label Themes, summative progressions, which manage the build-up of information as it accumulates in the text, and split progressions, which signal hierarchical relations between parts of the informational content.

“…The text is scientific, from the 17th century point of view and these are examples of terminology used in scientific texts.12 Taavitsainen (2004) has classified Middle English medical texts into three different layers or levels of -informativeness‖, so that we can find commentaries, compilations and question-answer formulae(Moskowich, 2008).…”

“…Aunque el vocabulario médico en inglés medio ha sido investigado previamente (Norri 1987a(Norri , 1987b(Norri , 2004, los enfoques propuestos se han dirigido principalmente a los procesos de formación de palabras y a aspectos etimológicos relacionados (Norri 1989;Moskowich y Crespo 2006;Moskowich 2008). Sin embargo, el ámbito de los campos semánticos representa un área que no ha sido abordada en detalle para este período de la lengua -en el que según Norri (2004: 101) se sentaron las bases para la creación de siglos posteriores -y en la que sería interesante profundizar por la información que podría aportar, por ejemplo, sobre la vernacularización de los lenguajes especializados.…”

The position of adjectives in the English Noun Phrase is regarded as something quite fixed and pertaining to the level of syntax rather than to any other. In previous studies (Moskowich 2002;Moskowich -Crespo 2002; Lareo -Moskowich 2009), it has been shown, however, that there seem to be some other extra-syntactic variables at stake determining word-order patterns.This paper aims at analysing the word-order patterns of adjectives in the emerging scientific writing in the Middle Ages, particularly in medical texts written in English. To this end, several texts contained in MEMT (Middle English Medical Texts) will be analysed. As a first approach, samples belonging to the three different traditions included in the Corpus will be considered. This examination of samples from a surgical text, a specialised one and a remedy book will also help obtain some conclusions regarding the evolution in the use of the so called Frenchtype adjectives in the language.
