The term '''thematic role''' is a synonym of [[semantic role]] or [[thematic relation]], popularized by Chomsky (1981), although mostly in its abbreviated form [[Θ-role]].

			Thematic roles are semantic roles in a system which takes location and movement through space as (some of) the key notion in the interpretation of natural language sentences.

			=== Example ===

			the sentence ''Don gives Ed a donut'' is about a relocation or transfer of a donut (the Theme) from Don (the Source) to Ed (the Goal). In syntactic theory thematic roles are usually referred to as [[Theta-role]]s with not much concern for their content. See [[Thematic theory]].
