Every text has its own shape and substance, making it possible to analyze it from a structural and semantic standpoint. There are various ways to assess the literary text's semantic structure. Incorporating techniques from Morokhovsky (1981) (communicative blocks) and Bukhbinder (1978); the latter enables the identification of so-called zones of compression, or information overload, and zones of dispersion, or information minima, in the text. The third method relies on topical or nominative chains, which can be created by designating several things. (Domashnev 1989). Identifying the theme and rheme in the text highlights the logical connections between phrases and provides an image of the text's structure. These techniques are used to analyze R. Bradbury's short stories.
