पर needs Theme function?

[Aryaman Arora]

Khan (2009)

पर (in the table, LOC-on) is marks the proto-Patient for a large class of verbs. I have been using the usual Locus function for these, but it may just need a separate Theme function because of how broad it is.

• मैं उसकी बातों पर सोचता रहा।
  I he-GEN talks on think-IPFV CONT
  I kept thinking about what he said.
• मुझपर हमला हुआ।
  I-on attack be-PRF
  I was attacked. [An attack befell me?]
• मुझे तुम पर विश्वास है।
  I-DAT you on belief be-PRS
  I believe/trust you.

The first one seems to actually be just Topic↝Topic. The second is Theme (or Theme↝Locus). The third is Stimulus↝Theme (or Stimulus↝Locus). Merging the second too by creating a Theme function may make sense.

Added Theme function, and added to Xposition.
