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.

“The teacher gave the student a prize.”
