Abstract
In the mid-1930s, linguists began to spot problems, which cannot be solved without analysis of textual and discursive phenomena. Up to that moment some of such problems have been already pointed out and considered in the adjacent fields of Humanitarian theory and practice. The article deals with one of such anticipations made simultaneously by prominent Russian theorists Boris Tomashevsky and Georgij Shengeli in their studies of literary composition. They discovered that theme-formation in a text is based on the unity of meanings in neighboring sentences (Tomashevsky) or on semantic interaction of consecutive utterances (Shengeli).
