[ ARG1 billI] [ ARG2-LOC pedza mEM] Pasa gayI hE cat tree Loc stuck go.Perf be.Pres ‘The cat is stuck in the tree.’ Some examples of the verbs that require Arg2_LOC are Guma ‘to roam’, Kisaka ‘to slip’, guzara ‘to pass by’, dUba ‘to drown’ etc. This label can also be used for abstract/metaphorical locations. For example, it can be used for time for the verb (samaya) kAta ‘spend time’ (see (38a) below). It can be used for an abstract/metaphorical location, such as xIvAra se 'with the wall' or SikSA kSewra se 'with education field' as in (38b) and (38c) below. (38) a. [ ARG0 loga] [yahAM] [sadzakoM par] [ ARG2_LOC rAta] People here streets on night kAta rahe hEM spend prog be.Pres ‘People are spending the night on the street here.’ b.

3.12. ARG3 The label Arg3 is used to annotate arguments that act as instruments in the sentence, i.e. they enable the action to take place. Usually, they are artifacts rather than persons. We can use the test “X kA upayoga” (use of X) to check whether an argument can be assigned Arg3. In the following sentence, cAkU se ‘with a knife’ gets Arg3: (40) [ ARG0 rAma ne] [ ARG3 cAkU se] [ ARG1 Ama] kAtA Ram Erg knife Instr mango cut.Pst ‘Ram cut the mango with a knife’ It is possible to rewrite the above sentence as in (41) below. Since the construction in (41) is possible, we assign cAkU the label Arg3. The verb kAta ‘to cut’ is an example of a verb that needs an instrument, and hence the Arg3 label. (41) [ ARG0 rAma ne] [ cAkU kA upayoga karke] [ ARG1 Ama] kAtA Ram Erg knife Gen use having.done mango cut.Pst ‘Ram, having used a knife, cut the mango.’ However the “X kA upayoga” test is quite stringent and includes only cases of prototypical instruments. There are other cases where the means whereby an action is performed can be labeled using the Arg3 label. An interesting case is the verb Bara ‘fill’ where the argument pAnI ‘water’ gets –se case-marking (typically used with instruments) and invites a construal whereby the pot is filled BY MEANS of using water: (42) [ ARG0 sIwA ne] [ ARG3 pAnI se] [ ARG1 Gade ko] BarA Sita Erg water Instr pot Acc fill.Pst ‘Sita filled the pot with water.’ One might argue that pAnI ‘water’ is a theme argument (it describes an entity in motion) and should get an Arg1 label. However, notice that Arg1 cannot be applied to multiple arguments within the same sentence, and since Gade ko is a theme argument (an entity affected by the event of the verb, it gets filled, notice the focus is on filling something up in this construction, hence Gade ko is assigned the Arg1 label), we cannot assign pAnI se also the same label. Hence for the -se marked argument, if it can be construed as an instrument, we use the label Arg3. 4 We treat an argument that 4 A note about some other -se marked arguments: The -se marked argument for a verb such as SAxI kara 'marry' or SAxI ho 'marriage happen' get Arg1 label and the argument that would syntactically be treated as a subject for these verbs gets the Arg0 33
