I think these abbreviations are for "subject", "transitive verb" and "direct object", and more commonly abbreviated as SVO. This is standard word order in English: "The man kicked the dog" where man is the subject, kick the verb and the dog the object, or "the boy kissed the girl" where boy is the subject, kiss the verb and the girl the object. In other languages you can have SOV order (The boy the girl kissed) or VSO order (Kissed the boy the girl).
