I listened to the (catchy) theme (song)
A couple of people have asked about the verb “listen to” and how one might identify whether its non-Agent argument is a Goal or a Theme.
It’s not always that easy a call, but Goal is generally used where there is a path and an endpoint, and Theme is the thing that gets “verbed”.
Nevertheless, a couple of words of caution. The facts that “listen to” comes with to and that you can think of Goals that come with to do not by themselves warrant the conclusion that the object of “listen to” is a Goal.
Also, compare the Sinhala sentences (2a) and (2b). There’s no preposition there (actually, we’d expect a postposition, not a preposition anyway—but neither is in evidence). There’s not much difference there between (2a) and (2b). Is “the story” a Goal in (2b)?
A similar question may arise with your answer to Question #1, part 4 (about sentence (7)). Again, don’t be swayed by how you happen to translate it in English, consider what you know about Sinhala from these examples.
