In this study Donna Jo Napoli takes a common-sense approach to the notions of argument and predicate. She presents a case for viewing the notion of predicate as a semantic primitive which cannot be defined by looking simply at the lexicon or syntactic structure, offering a theory or predication where the key to the subject-predicate relationship is theta-role assignment.
