Advances in Role and Reference Grammar

A SYNOPSIS OF ROLE AND REFERENCE GRAMMAR 75

arguments explicitly specified in the logical structure of a verb must be

realized syntactically in any clause containing that verb, and all of the argu­

ments in the syntax must be linked to an argument position in a LS.^46 In

simple sentences, this guarantees that there will be a match between the

number of arguments in the clause and in the LS of the verb. As will be

seen in section 7, it is extremely important in linking in complex sentence

constructions.
