The MIT Libraries is completing a major upgrade to DSpace@MIT. Starting May 5 2026, DSpace will remain functional, viewable, searchable, and downloadable, however, you will not be able to edit existing collections or add new material. We are aiming to have full functionality restored by May 18, 2026, but intermittent service interruptions may occur. Please email dspace-lib@mit.edu with any questions. Thank you for your patience as we implement this important upgrade.

dc.description.abstractThis paper explores the nature of the underlying representation of a sentence, that representation formulated to make explicit the semantic structure of a sentence as a description of an event. It argues that the typical conception of an underlying representation as a predicate-argument representation, exemplified in systems of case and thematic relations, must be modified. An underlying representation must include semantic relations between noun phrases as well as the predicate-argument relations of noun phrases to a verb. An examination of instrumental with will be used to motivate and justify this revision. In particular, an account of instrumental with requires the introduction of the control relation, a relation between two noun phrases.en_US
