agentiveevent
An agentive event is a type of event in semantics and syntax in which an agent actively initiates or causes the central change described by the verb. The agent is typically a volitional, capable actor, often realized as the subject of an active clause, though analyses vary on whether intention is required. Agentive events contrast with non-agentive or patientive events, where a change occurs without a deliberate initiator, such as changes caused by natural forces or incidental circumstances.
In linguistic analysis, agentivity is closely linked to the Agent thematic role, which characterizes the entity
Cross-linguistic variation shows that agentivity interacts with voice, morphology, and alignment. Some languages mark agentive causation
