Abstract
The purpose of our research is to find a transparent and consistent basis for representing the relations between the Georgian verb and its actants. We use the metaphor of an ”action chain” as a means to elucidate the complex interdependencies representing the most general aspects of the verbal meaning, as well as the core component of the utterance as a whole, namely the standpoint from which the speaker considers the event described in the utterance.
