Abstract: 
From the cognitive point of view the theme of the utterance is defined as the point of discursive scheme integration. The integration relations are based upon the author’s special interest in this integration point. The discursive space may have potentially more than one theme. If the theme multiplicity is revealed, one of them turns out to be inclusive. The conceptual inclusiveness relations influence upon the order of the theme representation in the text. If the text has themes of various types, they are represented in a special order. The organization of this kind of order is impacted by the theme correlation defined by the conceptual inclusiveness and the text genre where the thematic components are actualized.

Keywords:  cognitive approach, the theme of the utterance, the discursive scheme, conceptual inclusiveness relations
