I have a couple of comments, of a very general nature.
1. I'm not quite sure I see what role thematic roles play in the
account. Isn't all that is relevant are considerations as to what are
arguments of (nominalized) predicates? Does it ever matter what the
thematic role of the argument is?
2. It seems that the author simply takes subject-orientation as
primitive, and builds it into the Binding Theory in (11). Is there any
account presumed which entails subject-orientation for these elements in
Serbian?
