obj:agent: agent object of a non-actor-focused verb

A ng-marked nominal that denotes the agent in a clause with a voice other than actor-focus. Unlike in Indo-European languages, the agent is still a core argument, hence it is labeled obj:agent rather than obl:agent.

Binigyan ng titser ng premyo ang istudyante . \n Given the teacher a prize the student .
obj:agent(Binigyan, titser)
obj:agent(Given, teacher)

“The teacher gave the student a prize.”
