>>14285983>where the "default" person is the hearer, not the speaker (the deixis?)There is no default position in most languages. Most languages have "person" or "narrator," but that is a structure of the story told, not the grammar or the vocabulary.
There are lots of ways to express this. First person is I the speaker, Second person is you the listener, third person stands outside of the story and can have restrictions as to what they can and cannot see, depending on whether they are in the story or just telling it.
The passive voice is a way of having no narrator, or better, that the story itself is the narrator (although that is not a common interpretation).
So if the listener is the person, think more of a cook book or a "you choose" adventure, rather than a command, which would be a grammar structure.
Very few "complete" languages do not allow the narrator of the story to change, otherwise we could not use communication to express events other than those we were in, and only from our point of view. The point of view of the story that changes with the narration actually changes the story itself. Language might not know this but it account for the ability as evidenced by paradox and hypocrisy. This however is not expressed in the grammar of any language I know (except maybe for passive voice) but is a condition of the story itself.
But these concepts are more philosophy than linguistics.
