The relationship between verbs and their arguments is a widely debated topic in linguistics. This comprehensive survey explores this important research area, discussing theories of how a verb's semantics can determine the morphosyntactic realization of its arguments. It will be invaluable to those working in syntax, semantics, and related fields.
