#syntax argument

• Actant — A structural concept developed in linguistics by L. Tesnière and extended into narratology by A.J. Greimas. In linguistics, it defines the being, object, or concept actively or passively participating in the process expressed by a verb (equivalent to verbal arguments). In literary theory and semiotics, it represents an abstract unit or a functional role within a narrative model (e.g., Subject, Object, Sender, Receiver, Helper, Opponent), regardless of whether it is embodied by a character, a group, or an inanimate object.
