Description

Theta Theory examines the lexicon as a critical interface between cognition and language's computational system, presenting a comprehensive argument for traditional listed lexicons where semantic roles are encoded as verb features rather than through event decomposition. This scholarly work in the Studies in Generative Grammar series (volume 78) provides extensive coverage of German linguistic data, including detailed analysis of agentivity, causation, and psychological predicates. The book critically reviews mainstream theories of lexical semantics whilst establishing the foundational connections between cognitive processes and lexical structure, making it essential reading for linguists studying generative grammar, semantic theory, and the architecture of human language.

Key Features

Theta Theory volume 78 in the De Gruyter Mouton Studies in Generative Grammar series offers comprehensive theoretical frameworks for understanding lexical semantics.

The book presents extensive German language data analysing agentivity, causation, and psychological predicates to support its theoretical claims.

This academic work argues for traditional listed lexicons where semantic roles function as encoded verb features rather than decomposed events.

Theta Theory explores the lexicon's role as an interface facilitating information flow between human cognition and the computational system of language.

Published by De Gruyter, this generative grammar text critically reviews mainstream lexical semantic theories whilst developing its own integrated approach.
