Subject/Actant1 Reciprocal (SAR)

The Subject/Actant1 Reciprocal (SAR) Relation relates two Actions. It is a type of Implication, but one which goes in the reverse direction: from actant 1 to the subject. For instance, if P Peter - A accompanied - P Susan, then P Susan - A was accompanied - P Peter.

Some SAR are symmetrical, i.e. they imply the reciprocation of the same Action from actant 1 to the subject (e.g., "was in the company (of sb)"). Some are asymmetrical, i.e. the reciprocated Action is different.
