Reshaping [agentive]
In this frame a Deformer deforms a Patient possibly against a Resistant_surface such that it undergoes a shape-change from its canonical or original shape into the Configuration, a new shape. Some of these words indicate that the Configuration is an undesirable alteration of the norm, and in such cases the lexical unit is marked with the semantic type Negative_judgement. This frame does not include senses that specifically indicate causing harm to a living being.
