Approaches to defining and analyzing semantic roles

From the beginning of 2007 until 2011, Fernando Zúñiga worked on thematic relations or semantic roles from a cross-linguistic (rather than theoretical) perspective via a fruitful collaboration with Dr. Seppo Kittilä (University of Helsinki), which produced a series of joint activities and publications (s. below).
