Grammatical function
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In linguistics, grammatical functions or grammatical relations refer to syntactic relationships such as subject, object, adjunct, complement. These are distinct from the semantic notions of agent and patient, as demonstrated by the fact that the passive voice in English modifies the mapping between agent/patient and subject/object.
