<p>from LP</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The term '''thematic relation''' is used (especially in Ray Jackendoff’s work and work influenced by him) for [[semantic role]].<br /> <br /> === Synonyms ===<br /> Alongside [[thematic role]], [[Θ-role]], ''thematic relation'' is perhaps the most common term in current American linguistics (e.g. Wilkings (ed.) 1988).<br /> <br /> *[[semantic role]] <br /> *[[thematic role]] <br /> *[[Θ-role (Theta role)]] <br /> *[[case: deep case, case role, case relation]] <br /> *[[semantic function]]<br /> *[[kāraka]]<br /> <br /> === Origin ===<br /> The term ''thematic relation'' was introduced by Jackendoff (1972:29) (who attributed it to Richard Stanley), basing his theory on Gruber's (1965) work. According to Jackendoff, the centrality of the ''Theme'' in Gruber's analysis justifies this term. <br /> <br /> === References ===<br /> *Jackendoff, Ray S. 1972. ''Semantics and cognition.''
