Core Frame Elements (5)

Core Frame Elements
Frame element Definition Semantic type Constraint
Obligation
An expression of the commitment which the Parties have to engage in a commercial transaction.
โ€” โ€”
Parties
The group of individuals portrayed as equally involved in having a commercial agreement.
โ€” โ€”
Party_1
The individual or individuals that form the more prominent (i.e. agentive) party of the commercial agreement, as compared with Party_2. That is, Party_1 is generally encoded as the External Argument of verbs, and peripheral FEs that do not make reference to the event itself generally make reference to Party_1. Thus manner expressions are construed to apply to Party_1, not necessarily to Party_2 or the group of Parties as a whole.

Party_2
