Dimension [measured_value]
This frame concerns words that express an Object's position on a scale, its Measurement, with respect to some attribute, its Dimension. Locus, identifying the sub-region of the Object where the Dimension is measured, may also be expressed.
The tower is 10 feet tall.
The new vase is 5 cm in circumference at the top.
Adjectives in this frame must appear with a measurement expression like 5 cm.
Note the tagging of six feet on the GF and PT layers in the following sentence.
The woman was six feet tall.
The GF of six feet is Dep and the PT is NP.
