Subject is almost always a person, and the verb is one of speaking (speak, talk, answer, express). Distinguish from sense 1: here the focus is on the speaker's verbal delivery in real time, not on the logical structure of a written or planned product. Very common in medical, legal, and journalistic contexts as a marker that someone is mentally clear.
