Which parts are affected by theta theory in english?
Answers
Explanation:
As the title of this paper indicates, I am going to focus on Theta Theory in English and French. In this way, the first chapter will be concerned with Theta Theory in English. In the first section, I am going to discus Universal Grammar and its sub-theories, such as X-bar theory, Case theory, Government theory, Binding theory, Bounding theory, Control theory and a brief introduction to Theta theory. The second section will be devoted to Theta Theory, trying to present it from different points of view, namely that of Riemsdijk, Haegman, Radford and Sadiqi. In the third section, I will present the different types of Theta roles. Thereafter, I will provide the two major principles on which Theta Theory bases its assignment of Theta roles, namely the Theta-Criterion and the Projection Principle. Section five of this chapter is going to define Case Theory and its role in Theta role assignment. Finally, I am going to conclude this chapter with a discussion of Theta Theory and how it provides a good argument for movement processes in English, namely NP movement and Wh movement.
