Resumen de Do adverbials have diatheses?
In the prototypical case, semantic actants are in a one-to-one correspondence with syntactic actants. For adverbials and other words that have passive or discontinuous valency slots, syntactic positions of semantic actants are not restricted to actants (complements), but still it is typical for semantic actants to have one canonical syntactic position. We discuss several types of situations in which a semantic actant corresponds to more than one syntactic position in the sentence, or one syntactic position serves more than one semantic actant. The absence of one-to-one correspondence between semantic actants filling passive and discontinuous valency slots and their syntactic positions can be correlated with the absence of one-to-one correspondence between prototypical semantic actants filling active valency slots and syntactic actants, which is known as the diathesis modification.
