Abstract:

Especially in functional-typological linguistics, semantic roles have been
studied thoroughly, because they constitute a good starting point for any
study on argument marking due to their semantically defined nature. However,
the very concept of semantic roles is far from being without problems, and
there is still no consensus on how the roles are best defined. In this volume,
the notion will be discussed from novel perspectives with the aim of providing
new insights into our understanding of semantic roles. Two of the papers deal
with semantic role clusters, one with semantic roles in verbless
constructions, one with diachrony of semantic roles and two with individual
semantic roles that have not been studied in too much detail in previous
studies. The book may not offer answers to all questions the readers may have,
but at least it raises interesting further questions relevant to arriving at a
better understanding of semantic roles.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
