"secundative language"的定义和意义

What is "secundative language"?

Secundative language is a type of grammatical system that marks the relationship between verbs and their arguments by focusing on the secondary participant in an action, often distinguishing between the primary agent, which is the doer, and the secondary participant, which is the recipient or affected entity. In secundative constructions, the verb may explicitly indicate the role of the secondary participant, highlighting their involvement in the action. Secundative marking allows for greater clarity in expressing the dynamics of interactions and the roles of different participants in a sentence.
