Frame Report

This is the entity which moves under its own power.

Any expression which implies a definite starting-point of motion expresses the frame element Source. In prepositional phrases, the prepositional object expresses the starting point of motion. In particles, the starting point of motion is understood from context.

The direction in which the Self_mover goes.

The distance from the Source that the Self_mover ends up.

Any expression which tells where the Self_mover intends to end up as a result of the motion.

Any expression which describes a property of motion which is not directly related to the trajectory of motion expresses the frame element Manner. Descriptions of steadiness, grace, means of motion, and other things count as Manner expressions.

An event involving the Self_mover that results in the Self_mover moving in the specified way.

A relation to a landmark that describes the trajectory in the midst of the motion. (It is thus neither a Source nor the Intended_goal.)

The Place is where the motion (which is specified by a Source, Path or Goal) is located.

The state-of-affairs that the Self_mover wishes to bring about.

The Speed is the rate at which the Self_mover moves.

The time at which the motion takes place.

The device or bodypart that serves to move the Self_mover.

The state of the world (at a particular time and place) which is specifically independent of the departing event itself and any of its participants, and is merely peripherally related to the event as a whole.

A second moving object that moves in coordination with the Self_mover.

An event that occurs or state of affairs that holds at the time of departure and which the departure is taken to be a part of.

The label Coordinated_event is to be used for phrases denoting an event (it does not allow states) that the departing is rhythmically aligned with. (This would then further require that the departing be iterated.) The Coordinated_event is conceived of as independent: it would occur regardless of the event expressed by the target, which is not even an incidental or optional sub-part of the Coordinated_event.

The state of the Self_mover during the action.

The length of time that the Self_mover spends away from the Source.

A factor which explains the particular motion or manner of motion of the Self_mover.

The number of times that an action occurs in a given time.

An unexpected event that affects some agent (usually the Self_mover), which is enabled by, and occurs after, the departing.

The configuration formed by the entire Path of the Self_mover, taken simultaneously.

A larger conceptualization that includes the departing as an integral part. The departure expressed by the target typically corresponds to a Means action in this larger conceptualization.

An event paired with the motion, which explains why the motion is expected. In particular, Reciprocation is used to indicate an action that is being rewarded or punished by the motion, and/or is paired with the motion as the other side of an agreement.

The state of the Self_mover at the end of the event.
