초록
Since C. Fillmore(1968)'s seminal paper on the list of universal semantic roles to explain the relationship between the predicate and its arguments, there were many debates and also revised suggestions(Blake 1994, Van Valin 1994) regarding the number of roles and also on the definitions of given roles. However it never be of satisfaction for having an universal set of semantic roles. In this article I have examined the Standard Swahili simple sentences with a variety of arguments and the various kinds of predicates. To determine the semantic role of given argument, we have to consider the inherent properties of verbs. According to the two basic parameters of arguments and verbs, the semantic roles can be of variate even to the point which the different but neighboring roles overlap each other like AGENT/THEME, RECIPIENT/DESTINATION~GOAL, PATIENT~THEME. We can also confirm the continuum on the level of AGENT role according to the properties of participants which can be distinguished according to the hierarchy of animacy. To understand the very nature of the universal semantic roles, we suggest, we have to consider the characteristics of categorization itself, which can be best explained by the terms like continuity, turning point, and typicality.
Abstract
Since C. Fillmore(1968)'s seminal paper on the list of universal semantic roles to explain the relationship between the predicate and its arguments, there were many debates and also revised suggestions(Blake 1994, Van Valin 1994) regarding the number of roles and also on the definitions of given roles. However it never be of satisfaction for having an universal set of semantic roles. In this article I have examined the Standard Swahili simple sentences with a variety of arguments and the various kinds of predicates. To determine the semantic role of given argument, we have to consider the inherent properties of verbs. According to the two basic parameters of arguments and verbs, the semantic roles can be of variate even to the point which the different but neighboring roles overlap each other like AGENT/THEME, RECIPIENT/DESTINATION~GOAL, PATIENT~THEME. We can also confirm the continuum on the level of AGENT role according to the properties of participants which can be distinguished according to the hierarchy of animacy. To understand the very nature of the universal semantic roles, we suggest, we have to consider the characteristics of categorization itself, which can be best explained by the terms like continuity, turning point, and typicality.
