Frame Report

Agent is the object that moves under its own power.

Goal is any expression that tells where the Agent ends up, or would end up, as a result of the motion. Although always conceptually present and specific, Goal may sometimes be understood from context, rather than expressed by any separate constituent. Our visitors arrived yesterday.

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

This FE identifies the Means by which an Agent arrives.

The Mode_of_transportation expresses how the motion of the Agent is effected, by its body or by a vehicle which holds and conveys the Agent. Vehicles can move in any way and in any medium. They are usually expressed obliquely with 'in' or 'by'.

I reached Canada by car.
I reached Mexico on foot.

Normal_location is any expression which implies a definite starting-point of motion. While Normal_location expressions are possible in this frame, they are relatively infrequent. If present, they often express a general direction from which a Agent moves, rather than a landmark away from which it moves.

Path is any description of a trajectory of motion which is neither a Normal_location nor a Goal. In this frame, Path expressions almost always have a via-sense.

The place where the arrival occurs.

This FE identifies the purpose for which the Agent arrives at the Goal.

This FE identifies the Time when arriving occurs.
