The Distribution of Semantic Roles inside the Nominalized Projection

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The article shows that there are parallels between verbal and nominal semantic roles and therefore it is possible to apply thematic hierarchy for the interpretation of DPs of various semantic types of nominals. First, the one common structure for various semantic types of nominals introduced by Alexiadou (2001) and developed in her later studies, is discussed (Functional Structure 19). The main claim is that only nouns that inherit Argument Structure (AS) from verbal base are capable of licensing arguments and thematic hierarchy can be applied to them. The primary focus is on the so-called picture nouns which are problematic because they do not have AS as defined by Grimshaw (1990) but despite that inherit eventuality from predication and actualize argument structure in some contexts. Moreover, picture nouns which share the feature [+ ABSTRACT] exhibit strong eventivity as stipulated by Roy and Soare (2013) which might be a signal for the internal source of eventivity (“Event Related” 127). Finally, it is exemplified that the complementarity between prenominal possessive DPs and postnominal genitive as well as their semantic interpretation resulting from the application of thematic hierarchy is determined in large part by syntax regardless of the semantic type of noun.
