I hope sequences is the right word here, but I mean: chains of actions or speech acts that seem to belong together naturally and follow one another in a natural way. Do you know of any books based on that kind of view on language? My feeling is that language books focus that much on dialogues that we forget about other structural principles such as these.
Of course lots of dialogues are built upon 'natural' series as well, but they are not exploited, I think. I think of : seeing, judging and acting, which is in fact the basis for decion-making (and which is the basis for a lot of newspaper reports). For example: I hear a noise, I analyse it and I act accordingly - or I notice a phenomenon that looks 'worrisome', I think about it, considering whether it is serious, and then think about actions and act. There are numerous verbs (semantic clusters) that fit in those different phrase. Do you know of books reflecting that kind of thinking and/ or linguistic theories (is that pragmatics ?) going into that kind of series? I'd like to know where I could read more about that organisational principle, especially if it has been used for teaching vocabulary in clusters, in books or elsewhere !
