Functional and semantic bases of division the text into segments

This article describes the regularities of the structural and semantic relationship between the explicit macroposition and the corresponding segment of the text and allows to find out the general derivations of the macroposition principles. Exploring the patterns of the structural-semantic relationship between the explicit macroproposition and the corresponding segment of the text allows us to find out general principles of macroproposition is based on. The article describes the regularities of dividing the text into segments, from which the explicit macroposition is derived and the semantic operations of the derivation of the explicit macroposition are determined the semantic operations of the corresponding segment of the text. The material of research was the text of the English writer Jerome K. Jerome "Three Men in a Boat: To Say Nothing of the Dog!" This story includes the sequences of explicit macro-propositions, combined into macrostructures in each chapters of the text. Note, that in this case we are talking about the general semantic qualification of those operations that the author performs when deriving macropropositions.
