Judgment [experiencer_state]

โ€น Back Next โ€บ
A Cognizer makes a judgment about an Evaluee. The judgment may be positive (e.g. respect) or negative (e.g. condemn), and this information is recorded in the semantic types Positive and Negative on the Lexical Units of this frame. There may be a specific Reason for the Cognizer's judgment, or there may be a capacity or Role in which the Evaluee is judged.

This frame is distinct from the Judgment_communication frame in that this frame does not involve the Cognizer communicating his or her judgment to an Addressee.
JUDGMENT: She admired Einstein for his character.
JUDGMENT_COMMUNICATION: She accused Einstein of collusion.

Currently, however, some lexical units and annotation for both remain in this frame.
