+ \subsection*{Grammatical functions and transitivity}
+ The prototypical action of a transitive verb is an energy transfer from the Agent to the Patient\pagenr{601}.
+ The prototypical action chain can be depicted as in \autoref{fig:action-chain}.
+ Depending on the sentence, different components may be highlighted,
+ but in any sentence the subject (be it Agent, Instrument or Patient)
+ is the closest to the energy source out of the participants profiled\pagenr{603}.

+
+ Different semantic roles can be categorised according to a thematic hierarchy (Fillmore 1968).
+ How many roles there are, what labels they should be given,
+ and if they should be categorised or seen as on a prototypical scale, remain points of debate.
