초록

This thesis explored how to classify semantic roles. The semantic roles were classified using a method that relates the nature of the two arguments with their predicate. Agents and themes are related to each other through predicates. When classifying agents and themes, some systematic classification can be made by dividing them according to their relationship. Intentional actions and the objects of action were grouped into actor and patient. In the case of inanimate substance affecting the objects, they may be grouped into affector and affected respectively. The subject of psychological predicate and its stimulus or cause make up a pair of experiencers and stimuli. If the subject of psychological behavior is called psychological behavior, the target can be classified as psychological object. Companions related to the subjects are classified as subject companion and companions related to the themes are classified as object companion.
