Language users have access to several sources of information during
the build up of a meaningful construction. These include
grammatical rules, situational knowledge, and general world
knowledge. A central role in this process is played by the argument
structure of verbs, which establishes the syntactic and semantic
relationships between arguments. This book provides an overview of
recent psycholinguistic and theoretical investigations on the
interplay between structural syntactic relations and role
semantics. The focus herein lies on the interaction of case marking
and word order with semantic prominence features, such as animacy
and definiteness. The interaction of these different sorts of
information is addressed from theoretical, time-insensitive, and
incremental perspectives, or a combination of these. Taking a broad
cross-linguistic perspective, this book bridges the gap between
theoretical and psycholinguistic approaches to argument structure.
