-An '''argument''' is a [[noun phrase]] (or sometimes [[adpositional phrase]]) that is required to cooccur with a [[verb]] (or other argument-taking expression).
+The term '''argument''' is systematically ambiguous. In semantics, an argument is the entity about which a [[predication]] is made. In syntax, an argument is a constituent ([[noun phrase]], [[adpositional phrase]]) that is required by another (predicative, argument-taking) constituent ([[verb]], [[relational adjective]], [[relational noun]]). In this second, syntactic sense, 'arguments' are also called '[[argument term]]s'.
 In [[Generative syntax]], ''Argument'' is a [[phrase]] which is a [[referential expression]] and which is associated with a [[theta-role]] assigned by a lexical [[head]].
 ===Examples===
-In the following sentences, the italicized noun phrases (or adpositional phrases) are arguments:

 In Chomsky (1986a), arguments are construed as [[chain]]s. Now we can say that in (iii) the theta-role of ''hit'' is assigned to the antecedent ''John'', hence is associated with the argument (John<sub>i</sub>, t<sub>i</sub>), which is a chain.

 The NPs ''John'' and ''apples'' in (i)a are arguments of ''eat'' and the embedded sentence in (i)b is an argument of ''obvious''. The phrase ''next week'' in (ii) is not an argument (of ''visit''), and is assigned no theta-role.

 in the formula P(a), a is called the argument of the [[predicate]] P. Generally, for a predicate with [[arity]] n, in P(a<sub>1</sub>,...,a<sub>n</sub>), a<sub>1</sub>,...,a<sub>n</sub> are called the arguments of P. <br />
