A phrase to start with

Directs the image toward a scene in which a presenter shows an object or information to another person or an audience.

Appearance and effects

A presenter holds or places an object or information in an orientation visible to the viewer.

Visual traits

  • a presenter
  • a viewer or audience
  • an object or information visible to both

Expected changes

  • A relationship among a presenter, viewer, and object or information is more likely to appear.

Five examples

1 — Two people standing apart beside a box

A seated dog alone cannot show a possible presenter, a possible viewer, and an object, so it is replaced with two neutral people and an untouched object before presenting.

Meaning and scope

Definition

Presenting is an action in which one or more presenters show an object or information to another person or an audience in a viewable orientation. It does not determine gifting, sales, teaching, performance, success, occupation, or a specific medium.

In more detail

It centers on the relationship among a presenter, a viewer, and an object or information visible to both. It is distinct from handing over an object, teaching, performing, and selling.

Includes

  • An action in which a presenter shows an object or information to another person or an audience.

Excludes

  • Handing over an object as a gift or sale.
  • Showing something as teaching or performance.
  • Showing success, occupation, or a specific medium.

What this does not imply

  • Gifting or sales.
  • Teaching or performance.
  • Success, occupation, or a specific medium.

Variability

The number of presenters and viewers, the kind of object or information, and the setting can be adjusted separately.

Usage and adjustments

Usage

  • Use it where a presenter, a viewer, and an object or information are visibly related.

Distinguish similar expressions

  • Specify gifting, sales, teaching, performance, and medium separately.

Typical uses

  • Compose a scene in which a presenter shows an object or information to another person or an audience.

Possible failure modes

  • The object is not visible to the viewer, so presenting is not readable.
  • Movement of the object fixes the scene as gifting or sales.
