Frame Report

The Agent detonates the Explosive.

The Explosive causes damage to surrounding objects when operated by the Agent.

An implement used by the Agent to detonate the Explosive.

The assailants seem to have detonated the bombs with a cellphone|ins.

Any description of the intentional act which is not covered by more specific FEs, including secondary effects (quietly, loudly), and general descriptions comparing events (the same way). In addition, it may indicate salient characteristics of an Agent that also affect the action ( deliberately, eagerly, carefully).

This FE identifies the Means by which an Agent detonates the Explosive.

This FE identifies the place where the Agent detonates the Explosive.

This FE identifies the purpose for which an Agent detonates the Explosive.

This FE identifies the time when the Agent detonates the Explosive.

The Victim (typically an individual or structure) is targeted by the explosion or inadvertantly damaged by the explosion. May be indicated explicitly with on or against, but is often implied by place expressions, in which case the FE is indicated on the second layer.

Minutes later assailants detonated a bomb against the walls of police headquarters|vic.

Circumstances describe the state of the world (at a particular time and place) which is specifically independent of the event itself and any of its participants.

An event within which the Agent detonates the Explosive. Often, the Containing_event will also give an indication of the Agent's Purpose.

This frame element selects some gradable attribute of the Explosive or the detonation act and modifies the expected value for it.

This FE describes a participant of the state of affairs introduced by the target as being in some state during the action. The depicted state does not necessarily or usually facilitate or cause the state of affairs reported by the target.

Duration denotes the length of time from the beginning of a continuous situation to its end. In many cases, the continuous situation is a dynamic action which is ongoing, while in others it is simply an undifferentiated state.

The Explanation denotes a proposition from which the main clause (headed by the target) logically follows. This often means that the Explanation causes the target's proposition, but not in all cases.

This frame element is defined as the number of times an event occurs per some unit of time. A Frequency expression answers the question "how often."

The Outcome is the failure or success of the Agent's detonating the Explosive his or her Purpose.

This FE modifies a clause with an iterative interpretation, which may be signified by the simple present tense on the main verb.
