What is a "recipient"?
In linguistics, a recipient refers to the entity that receives something as a result of an action. This role is often associated with actions involving the transfer of objects or information. For example, in the sentence "He gave the book to his sister," "his sister" is the recipient because she is the one receiving the book. Understanding the role of the recipient is important for analyzing sentence structure and how different elements work together to convey meaning, particularly in contexts involving exchanges or transfers.
