AB The main goal of this article is to analyse the topical sequentiality of three subgenres: nar-ratives for young children, news items and tourist brochures. The 60 texts under analysis(twenty of each type) were written specifically for publication, and consequently do notprovide the possibility of direct feedback between the writer and the reader. However, theirmain rhetorical purpose and their register are clearly different in each and it is proposedthat this will play a key role in their topical sequentiality (Keenan & Schieffelin; Givón,Topic; Functionalism; Lautamatti; Siewierska; Dik, Theory Part II). The results of the studydemonstrate that the communicative intentions of the journalist, the advertiser and thewriter of tales play a decisive role in the topical progression of the three subgenres investi-gated.
