"Argument-linking Principle" a. In the configuration [ ]{V P}[ ]α or [ ]α[ ]{V P}, where α ranges over all categories, {V P} must be able to link all internal arguments. b. If a stem [ ]α is free in a compound which also contains an argument-taking stem, α must be interpretable as a semantic argument of the argument-taking stem, i.e. as a Locative, Manner, Agentive, Instrumental, or Benefactive argument.
