Emitting [agentive]

โ€น Back Next โ€บ
In this frame a Source_emitter discharges its Emission along a Path or to a Goal.
(1) The factory exudes toxic fumes from three large chimneys.
The Sub-source is only present when the actual Source_emitter is also given or is present in a possessive.
(2) Light is emitted from the tower .
(3) Noxious odors are emitted from his feet .
In (3) we would tag 'his' as Source_emitter on a second layer because the inalienable possession on the Sub-source indicates the Source_emitter
