Yes, it actually is in the bash manpage:
Simple Commands
A simple command is a sequence of optional variable assignments
followed by blank-separated words and redirections, and
terminated by a control operator. The first word specifies the
command to be executed, and is passed as argument zero. The
remaining words are passed as arguments to the invoked command.
