As a subsystem of grammar, thematic (theta) theory assumes a prominent place in a modularized framework of linguistic theory articulated in Chomsky (198 1). However, the nature of thematic relations has been subject to much debate in linguistic research (Dowty 1991). The present study adopts a view that thematic relations borne by the arguments of a predicate can be structurally determined at a syntactically relevant level of lexical representation for the internal event structures of the predicate. Theta roles of the arguments are seen as structural projections from the predicate head in accordance with general principles of language such as the X-bar Theory and the Case Theory and structures involving argument alternations are derived by means of head-to-head movement and incorporation, both of which operate under well-defined principles. The theoretical framework adopted for this study on thematic structures as interface properties of complex predicates is developed by Hale and Keyser (1991, 1992, 1993), who refer to such structural projections as Lexical Relational Structures (LRS).

Theta roles of the arguments are seen as structural projections from the predicate head in accordance with general principles of language such as the X-bar Theory and the Case Theory and structures involving argument alternations are derived by means of head-to-head movement and incorporation, both of which operate under well-defined principles. The theoretical framework adopted for this study on thematic structures as interface properties of complex predicates is developed by Hale and Keyser (1991, 1992, 1993), who refer to such structural projections as Lexical Relational Structures (LRS).
520 $a The present study focuses on the alternating structures of argument realization of complex event predicates in order to determine the structural relations of the different theta roles with the head of the predicate and to derive such argument alternations from lexical-syntactic structures representing different event type. We also develop a set of interpretative constraints on the direct internal argument, the oblique argument and the external argument; these interpretive conditions are seen as being determined by the structural properties of the arguments with the head of the predicate in the sentence.
520 $a Chapter 1 introduces the theoretical apparatus that we are going to employ for the analysis in the subsequent chapters. We look briefly at the evolution of the notion of event structure and different theoretic models on the analysis of event structure in the literature. We also present the primary evidence for the lexical-syntactic derivation of thematic structures in this chapter. In Chapter 2 and 3, the focus of our study is on the alternative structures involving resultative compound predicates in Chinese. We argue that resultative predicates in Chinese share the same structure with their counterparts in English and their differences in surface structures are treated as parametric differences in the lexicon in the two languages. In Chapter 4, we examine predicate structures involving alternation of their internal arguments, in particular we look into structures with locatum/ location argument alternations in both English and Chinese in an attempt to determine the role of the oblique argument in the event structure representation of the predicate. Finally, we argue in Chapter 5 for a single event view on lexically-complex predicates, which treats the external argument as an integral part of the event structure representation of such a predicate through the examination of the restrictive effect of the external argument on the interpretation of adverbials in the sentence.
