О противопоставлении актантов и сирконстантов в Московской семантической школе
On the argument – adjunct distinction in the Moscow Semantic School

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we address the problem of the argument/adjunct distinction in relation to some recent proposals, in which the distinction is rejected as too subjective to be the object of linguistic description, rather superfluous and not supported by reliable criteria. We show how the argument/adjunct distinction is treated by the Moscow semantic school: it is relevant for linguistic description in many respects, particularly because valency filling is the major mechanism of merging the meanings of the words into the meaning of the whole sentence.
