This article deals with linguistic description in terms of macrostructures and makropropositions. The author of these terms is T. van Dijk, he brought them into the semantic description of global content and thus, with global coherence of discourse. The author pays much attention to the macrostructures which are determined with macrorules that describe the relationship between the sequences of propositions and relevant of makropropositions of macrostructure.

The article deals with the data of speech pragmatics (pragmatics addressee) or the author of the text, and so we have an opportunity to explain the features of functional- semantic organization of explicit macro-structures in the novel of “Three Men in a Boat: to say nothing of the dog” as a realization of author’s speech in the text, such as discourse – pragmatic factors, like a factor of the addressee.
