Core Frame Elements (3)
| Frame element | Definition | Semantic type | Constraint |
|---|---|---|---|
| Affliction |
This FE is the injury, pain or disease experienced by the Patient. Affliction occurs either as an External Argument of verbs or as a PP Complement of nouns or verbs:
The wound is healing well. Pat's wound is healing well. Pat is recovering from scarlet fever. Pat's recovery from scarlet fever was very rapid. |
— | — |
| Body_part |
Where Body Part is expressed as a separate constituent (rather than in phrases such as the wound on Pat's arm), it occurs as an External Argument:
Pat's arm healed up quickly. Body Part is treated as a separate Frame Element although it may be viewed as metonymic for Affliction. |

|
— |
| Patient |
The Patient may either be expressed as the External Argument or, as in Health.Cure, may occur as the possessor of the Affliction (an example of FE conflation):
Pat is convalescing from surgery. Pat's wound is healing. In the second example, Pat's wound is the Body_part, but Pat's is also an instantiation of the Patient. |
