Theta Roles

How does a word know what role it should play in a sentence? How can we match up our verbs and nouns so that everything makes sense? In this week's episode, we talk about theta roles: how they keep us from overstuffing or underfilling our sentences, the different kinds of roles there are, and how it keeps X' Theory from running out of control.
