A very general predicate describing actors in events predicate that relates events to the things that do them. (doer EVENT DOER) means that DOER is a doer in the event EVENT: some activity on the part of DOER causes or carries out EVENT. This predicate is agnostic as to whether DOER does EVENT intentionally or not. Note that DOER need not even be animate or an agent; e.g. the famous vocanic eruption that buried Pompeii was doer Mt. Vesuvius. Note also that an event might have more than one doer; consider a chess game.
See the specializations performer and bodily doer for cases in which the doer is, respectively, an agent acting deliberately and an organism behaving non-deliberately.
