Thematic Roles in Languase Processing
, 1987
"... We present some ideas about how thematic roles (case roles) associated with verbs are used durin on-line langnae comprehension along with some supportin perilllental evidence. The basic idea, followin S Cottell (1985), is that all of the thematic roles associated with a verb are activated in paralle ..."

Thematic Roles and Proto-Roles
, 2007
"... Last week we considered Kratzer’s arguments that the AGENT is not a syntactic (or semantic) argument of the verb, but is rather syntactically (and semantically) introduced by an indepen-dent (functional) head: the voice projection. What about internal arguments? In particular, what about THEMEs? 1.1 ..."

.1 Cumulativity Krifka (1989, 1992) argues that all thematic relations are cumulative in the sense specified in (1) (where ‘+ ’ is the mereological sum operation). (1) A relation R between events and individuals is cumulative iff: ∀e, e′∀x, y[[R(x)(e) ∧ R(y)(e′)] → R(x+ y)(e+ e′)] This is a variant of a more
Thematic Roles, Word Order, and Definiteness
"... this paper, I present rules that unambiguously determine the definiteness of bare NPs in the article-less language, Hindi. These rules involve the thematic roles and the syntactic positions of the relevant NPs. While these rules are designed for Hindi, I believe that my core conceptual claims are tr ..."

Learning Thematic Role Relations for Wordnets
- in ‘Proc. of ESSLI 2002 Workshop on Machine Learning Approaches in Computational Linguistics
, 2002
"... In this paper, I present a method for learning thematic role relations (selectional preferences) for wordnets by means of statistical corpus analysis. An evaluation on a gold standard, which I extracted from EuroWordNet, shows that this method achieves a learning accuracy of up to 77%. I also pro ..."

Can thematic roles leave traces of their places
- Cognition
, 2003
"... An important question in the study of language production is the nature of the semantic information that speakers use to create syntactic structures. A common answer to this question assumes that thematic roles help to mediate the mapping from messages to syntax. However, research using structural p ..."

An Image-Schematic System of Thematic Roles
- Proc. 1st Conf. of the Pacific Association for Computational Linguistics
, 1993
"... We describe a system of thematic roles and frames designed to address a number of problems in semantic representations at the lexical semantic level. Our primary objective is broad expressiveness, so that real domains can practically be encoded. However, for both empirical and computational reasons ..."

Distributional Statistics and Thematic Role Relationships
"... Past research (McRae et al., 2005) has claimed that distributional statistics do not have enough structure to support representational relationships between thematically related nouns and verbs. We directly investigated this claim, using measures of distributional similarity. We found that several d ..."

Meaning and Thematic Roles in the Igbo Language
"... Semantics is an aspect of linguistic study that investigates the meaning of words and sentences in languages. Scholars from different disciplines like philosophy, logic, anthropology, psychology and linguistics are interested in exploring the nature of meaning. But linguistics differs from these dis ..."

of meaning with special emphasis on the investigation of theta roles in the Igbo language. The paper argues that as part of its inherent lexical specification, a verb or a preposition requires its arguments (which are usually nouns) to be in specific thematic roles because where there is one argument
