theta theory

One of the (sub-)theories of GOVERNMENT-BINDING THEORY. Its main principle is the theta-criterion, which requires that every ARGUMENT is assigned just one THETA ROLE and that every theta role is assigned to just one argument. Its main role is to determine the positions to which NP-MOVEMENT is possible.
