| Summary: | Language learners need strategies for interpreting contextual clues, which can
provide them with information about the likely content of the languge to which they
are being exposed. An English sentence is make up of units that combine to contribute
to an overall semantic interpretation. Each unit of the sentence bears a grammatical
relation to some other unit or combination. Noun phrases and sometimes clauses can
bear a subject or object relation within the larger structure. These noun phrases and
clauses also function as arguments of their predicate, and their semantic roles, roles
such as “doer”, are essentially semantic relations within the larger language structure.
The term thematic role is used to identify the arguments that the predicate requires. The
theme is the entity to which the action happens. |
