Nouns and their complements in cartularies titles: an analysis from the thematic roles
Abstract
Latin deverbal nouns and a certain kind of picture nouns may receive two complements, which are usually marked with the thematic roles Theme and Agent and can be surfaced either as a genitive or as a prepositional complement, among others. On this basis, the aim of this article is, on the one hand, to study how the expression of these complements is organized using a corpus of titles of documents copied in three cartularies from the 12th-13th centuries. On the other, our aim is also to analyse which relationship we find between the different types of nouns and the syntactic cathegory and thematic roles of their arguments. Thus, we will obtain an overview of the functioning of the argument structure of these nouns in a particular discursive tradition of Medieval Latin.
