Anotace:
e theory of functional sentence perspective (FSP) and its research methods have been
considered one of the prominent tools of discourse analysis and information processing.
It is widely known that, combining the approaches adopted both by formalists and
functionalists, the theory of FSP draws on the fi ndings presented by the scholars of the
Prague Circle. e father of FSP himself – Jan Firbas – drew on the fi ndings of his
predecessor, Vilém Mathesius, who formulated the basic principles of what was to be
labelled FSP only later. Apart from the principal FSP representatives and more recent
followers (as a rule associated with Prague or Brno universities), this homage paper
overviews somewhat less familiar – yet signifi cant – pioneers in the fi eld of theories
of information structure, viz. Henri Weil, Sámuel Brassai, Georg von der Gabelentz
and Anton Marty. It will discuss some of their writings and achievements that were
forming (and inspiring) the theory of FSP.
