| Description | The text discusses thematic roles previously suggested in the linguistic literature to capture the meaning of syntactic constituents related to the valency of a dominating word form. It aims at identifying an appropriate inventory of such roles which would serve as a descriptive tool for describing the lexical entries in a valency dictionary under construction. As the valency dictionary under consideration sets out to document the valency of categorially different lexical items derived from a common core unit, the roles used in the dictionary must be stable across derivational boundaries. In addition, they must suit the descriptive purpose, differentiate variants within a lexical entry and be intelligible to a wide audience of dictionary users and linguists working in different frameworks. The paper concludes in suggesting an inventory of 17 roles. |
