A term used by some LINGUISTS as part of the GRAMMATICAL or SEMANTIC analysis of a SENTENCE in terms of CASES or PARTICIPANT ROLES: it usually refers to the ANIMATE being passively implicated by the happening or state expressed by the VERB (e.g. I gave you the cheque). It is typically the role of the INDIRECT OBJECT, but other ELEMENTS may act as recipient – such as the SUBJECT in such sentences as John has seen a vision. Alternative terms include PATIENT, DATIVE and AFFECTED, but different approaches vary in their use of these terms.
