What is a "source"?

In linguistics, a source refers to the starting point or origin of an action or event, often indicating where something comes from. It is typically the entity from which an action moves or is derived. For example, in the sentence "She walked away from the house," "the house" serves as the source because it is the place from which she is leaving. Understanding the role of the source helps clarify how actions are expressed in sentences and how different elements relate to one another in conveying meaning.
