英语里主语往往采用人称和非人称两种表达形式。用非人称主语表达时，往往注重“什么事发生在什么人身上”，这种修辞方式称之为“无灵主语（inanimate subject）”。它的主语通常是抽象概念、心理感觉、事物名称或时间地点等，谓语动词却时常用“有灵动词（animate verb）”如：see，witness (见证)，find，bring，take，know，give，send，escape，surround，serve，tell，permit，stop，invite，drive，prevent…from等，这类句子往往带有拟人化(personification)的修辞色彩。

This is a great river, waves on waves.
The wind spreads rice flower fragrance over both banks.
