\summary{
	\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}.

	\begin{figure}[h]
		\centering
		\footnotesize
		\begin{tikzpicture}[every node/.style={draw,minimum width=1.6em},node distance=6em,->]
			\node[circle,label=below:Agent] (A) {};
			\node[circle,right of=A,label=below:Instrument] (I) {};
			\node[circle,right of=I,label=below:Patient] (P) {};

			\draw (A) -- (I);
			\draw (I) -- (P);
		\end{tikzpicture}
		\caption{Prototypical action chain\pagenr{603}\label{fig:action-chain}}
	\end{figure}

	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.
