Unreferenced date July 2008 In linguistics , a grammatical patient , also called the target or undergoer, is the participant of a situation upon whom an action is carried out. A patient as differentiated from a theme must undergo a change in state. A theme is denoted by a stative verb , where a patient is denoted by a dynamic verb. At the very least, there is debate to this effect. Also, patient is the name of the thematic relation with the above definition. Theory Typically, the situation is denoted by a Sentence linguistics sentence , the action by a verb in the sentence, and the patient by a noun phrase . For example, in the sentence Jack ate the cheese , the cheese is the patient. In certain languages, the patient is declension declined for grammatical case case or otherwise marked to indicate its grammatical role. In Japanese language Japanese , for instance, the patient is typically affixed with o the hiragana . Although English language Modern English does not mark grammatical role, patienthood is represented irregularly in other ways for instance, with the morpheme s en , ed , or ee , as in eaten , used , or payee . The grammatical patient is often confused with the direct object . However, there is a significant difference. The former is based explicitly on its relationship to the verb , whereas the latter is based primarily on its relationship to the subject grammar subject . For example, in the phrase The dog bites the man , the man is both the patient and the direct object. By contrast, in the phrase The man is bitten by the dog , the man is still the patient, but now stands as the phrase s subject while the dog is only the agent grammar agent . The term theme is often used to describe the same relation as patient.

A patient diary is a tool used during a clinical trial or a disease treatment to assess the patient s condition e.g. symptom severity, quality of life or to measure treatment compliance. An Electronic Patient Diary registers the data in a storage device and allows for automatically monitoring the time the entry was made. Frequent recording of symptoms using a diary helps to reduce recall bias. Electronic diaries ensure entries are made as scheduled, and not, for example, in a batch immediately before the clinic visit. Patient diaries are also way to find out if a patient takes the medication according to the treatment schedule, which is an important problem during clinical trials and the treatment of degenerative diseases with relatively few symptoms.
