["C. Stirling Bartholomew" <jacksonpollock AT earthlink.net>]

L .J. de Regt* observes that full nominal phrases are sometimes used at the
beginning and the end "paragraphs" where the participant is active and
retrievable from the context and a pronoun or verb inflection would have
been adequate to identify the participant.

My question: 

How is de Regt using the term paragraph?
