Core Frame Elements (4)

The amount of time that the Eventuality, Period, or Entity lasts.

| Entity |
An item which is metonymically related to an Eventuality. Some common eventualities that are metonymically entailed are the effect of the entity in its capacity as an instrument and the existence of the entity.

Extra-thematic Frame Elements (1)
| Frame element | Definition | Semantic type | Constraint |
|---|---|---|---|
| User |
An individual that deploys a resource to receive a benefit. The construction that introduces this FE is idiosyncratic, combining with last (in this frame), cost, and take--and more marginally see (in "saw me through the winter") and keep (in "It 'll keep me for a while .") In this frame, the resource maps onto the Entity, and the benefit is the Eventuality.
A gallon of water wo n't last us more than a few days . |
