Book description:
Verbs denote types of situations, and their subjects, objects, and
other arguments denote various participants in those types of
situations. This book addresses the linguistic principles that
determine how the syntactic arguments of verbs and the participant
roles in situations are related.
Many previous approaches to this problem have employed a set of
thematic roles, such as agent and patient, to classify varieties of
participants. The alternative presented here, within the framework of
Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar, uses typed feature structures
and a hierarchy of word classes to model certain basic features of
verb meaning, from which an account of the mapping between
participant roles and syntactic arguments is developed. Evidence from
a broad range of verbal phenomena in various languages, including
argument-structure alternations such as causativization and
applicative formation, bolsters the model. Relying on no special
mechanisms or components of grammar, this account is based on a
simple yet widely applicable set of constraints, which permit the
observed mappings and rule out impossible ones.
