	Topic (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In linguistics, the topic (or theme) is the part of the proposition that is being talked about (predicated).
		In the example, the discourse-level topic is established in the first sentence: it is Mike's house.
		Pro-drop languages like Japanese tend simply to delete the old topic, which is then left implicit throughout the discourse until a new one appears.

		Sociolinguistics, anthropological linguistics, and linguistic anthropology are where the social sciences that consider societies as whole and linguistics interact.
		For linguistic research that uses the methods of corpus linguistics and computational linguistics, written language is often much more convenient for processing large amounts of linguistic data.
