Change_of_leadership [agentive]
This frame concerns the appointment of a New_leader or removal from office of an Old_leader. The Selector brings about the change in leadership, for example, by electing or overthrowing a leader. There are two particular situations described by words in this frame: 1. making a New_leader fill a Role whether or not there was someone in the role previously (e.g., crown.v), and 2. successfully removing an Old_leader from office (e.g. depose.v, oust.v).
On March 17 , Mamedov appointed Rakhim Gasiyev as Defence Minister .
This frame should be compared to the Reject_leadership frame, in which there is only an attempt to change the power structure. Compare also to the Appointing frame, which is used for words that refer to officially empowered agents designating entities to fill a particular function. In the Appointing frame, the function may or may not be a leadership role, unlike targets in the Change_of_leadership frame.
