Definition

Predicate-argument structure is another term for argument structure.

Morphology

Level of representation, which is part of the lexical representation of verbs (or adjectives), where the information about the theta-grid is decoded, and as such is part of the syntactic structure of verbs.

Example

One way to represent the predicate-argument structure (PAS) of the causative verb break is (i).

(i) break:  <Agent, Theme>
 

In (i) break is specified as having an external argument ( Agent) and an internal argument ( Theme).
