Another goal is to enumerate semantic roles relevant for the partici- pants of Russian adjectives and the surface tools for coding such adjectival participants. The discussion of adjectival classes starts from the classifica- tions proposed in Western and Russian linguistics. Such classifications are often based on pure semantic grounds and sometimes have rather specula- tive character. To overcome such shortcomings, the paper takes into con- sideration participants introduced by situations described by adjectives. Such participants can be of two types. Participants of the first type are rel- evant for specific semantic classes of adjectives. The second type partici- pants can be introduced by adjectives from different semantic classes (and under certain circumstances—by the adjectives that lack government at the first sight). The overall conclusion is that adjectival government is more idio- syncratic and “more semantic” in nature than the verbal one. Key words: adjectives, semantic classes, semantic roles, Russian, government 1 Исследование выполнено в рамках проекта РНФ № 16-18-02003
