Definition
Predicate-argument structure is another term for argument structure.
Morphology
Level of representation, which is part of the lexical representation of verbs (or adjectives), where the information about the theta-grid is decoded, and as such is part of the syntactic structure of verbs.
Example
One way to represent the predicate-argument structure (PAS) of the causative verb break is (i).
(i) break: <Agent, Theme>
In (i) break is specified as having an external argument ( Agent) and an internal argument ( Theme).
