Tanya Reinhart's “Theta System” (henceforth: TS) is yet another version of what we call linking theories, i.e., theories that formulate generalizations about how verbs project their semantic arguments into syntactic constituent structure. The last decades of linguistic research have seen many proposals of this kind. The TS is particularly designed to fit into a minimalist theory of syntax, but, as far as I can see, there is nothing particularly minimalist in it, apart from details of technical execution. Neither is TS the only possible linking theory within minimalism
