Arguments
In semantic analysis every proposition contains one predicate and a varying number of referring expressions (noun phrases) called arguments.The predicate may be a verb, an adjective, a preposition, or a noun phrase.
The arguments that accompany the predicate have different semantic functions, or roles, in the proposition. What roles they have depends partly on the nature of the predicate and partly on their own meanings.
