Behavioral Process

A process that is realized by verbal group which encodes physiological and psychological behavior is called Behavioral process.

Behaver: person or animal having the behavior, usually endowed with consciousness. Most behavioral processes ONLY have a single participant, and that’s the Behaver.

Behavior: found in very few cases in which the behavior usually repeats the behavioural process with some added attribute (he breathed a deep breath)

Example:

Mickey Mouse	smiled	a broad smile
