iobj:patient
: patient object of a non-actor/patient-focused verb
A ng-marked nominal that denotes the patient in a clause with a voice other than actor-focus
or patient-focus. There are two objects (the other one denotes the agent). Only one of them
can use the obj
relation; we reserve it for the agent and subtype it obj:agent.
The patient is thus a subtype of iobj
.
