possibly could also act as an instrument as Arg1 only in cases where -se case marking<br />
is not used, such as in (43) below. Notice, in contrast to (42) above, here the focus is<br />
on the entity pAnI that is moved and put in a container and hence can be taken as a<br />
theme and thus marked as Arg1.<br />
(43) [ ARG0 sIwA ne] [ ARG1 pAnI] [ ARG2_LOC Gade meM] BarA<br />
Sita Erg water pot Loc fill.Pst<br />
‘Sita filled water in the pot.’<br />
As was mentioned above, we can have multiple instrument core arguments within the<br />
same sentence, hence we can use Arg3 repeatedly in the sentence. This is shown<br />
through the example in (44) below.<br />
(44) [ ARG0 sIwA ne] [ ARG3 cammaca se] [ ARG1 ghade ko] [ ARG3 pAnI se]<br />
Sita Erg spoon Instr pot Acc water Instr<br />
BarA<br />
fill.Pst<br />
‘Sita filled the pot with water with a spoon.’<br />
4. Annotating modifiers<br />
The modifiers of a verb are annotated using the semantic role tags beginning with<br />
ArgM. The following types of modifiers are being used in <strong>PropBank</strong>:<br />

label, following the English <strong>PropBank</strong>. Hence in a sentence such as (i) below, Ram gets Arg0 and<br />
Sita, Arg1.<br />
(i) [Arg0 rAma ne] [Arg1 sIwA se] SAxI kI<br />
Ram Erg Sita with marriage do.Pst<br />
'Ram married Sita.'<br />
Further, for verbs such as gussA ho 'be angry' as in (ii) below, ‘Sita se’ will be treated as an adjunct<br />
rather than an argument.<br />
(ii) [Arg0 rAma] [ArgM siWa se] gussA hE<br />
Ram Sita with angry be.Pres<br />
'Ram is angry with Sita.'<br />
