<div>The term '''Θ-role''' (or '''theta role''') is a synonym of [[thematic role]] or [[semantic role]]. <br />
<br />
=== Comments ===<br />
This is a typical Chomskyan abbreviated term (cf. terms like ''D-structure'', ''R-expression'', ''m-command''), used by many syntacticians working in a Chomskyan framework.<br />
<br />
=== Synonyms ===<br />
*[[semantic role]] <br />
*[[thematic relation]]<br />
*[[thematic role]]<br />
*[[case: deep case, case role, case relation]] <br />
*[[semantic function]]<br />
*[[kāraka]]<br />
*[[argument structure]]<br />
<br />
=== Origin ===<br />
This Greek-letter based abbreviation of [[thematic role]] was introduced by Chomsky (1981), for unknown reasons. However, since Chomskyan syntax has generally not been interested in the actual semantic content of semantic roles, use of the term '''Θ-role (Theta role)''' probably also indicates the user's primary concern with the syntactic aspects of semantic roles. <br />
