The concept of semantic roles has been central to linguistic theory
for many decades. More specifically, the assumption of such
representations as mediators in the correspondence between a
linguistic form and its associated meaning has helped to address a
number of critical issues related to grammatical phenomena.
Furthermore, in addition to featuring in all major theories of
grammar, semantic (or 'thematic') roles have been referred to
extensively within a wide range of other linguistic subdisciplines,
including language typology and psycho-/neurolinguistics. This
volume brings together insights from these different perspectives
and thereby, for the first time, seeks to build upon the obvious
potential for cross-fertilisation between hitherto autonomous
approaches to a common theme. To this end, a view on semantic roles
is adopted that goes beyond the mere assumption of generalised
roles, but also focuses on their hierarchical organisation. The
book is thus centred around the interdisciplinary examination of
how these hierarchical dependencies subserve argument linking -
both in terms of linguistic theory and with respect to real-time
language processing - and how they interact with other information
types in this process. Furthermore, the contributions examine the
interaction between the role hierarchy and the conceptual content
of (generalised) semantic roles and investigate their
cross-linguistic applicability and psychological reality, as well
as their explanatory potential in accounting for phenomena in the
domain of language disorders. In bridging the gap between different
disciplines, the book provides a valuable overview of current
thought on semantic roles and argument linking, and may further
serve as a point of departure for future interdisciplinary research
in this area. As such, it will be of interest to scientists and
advanced students in all domains of linguistics and cognitive
science.
