Come_together [change]
In this frame a group of Individuals meet to form a Configuration. The Individuals or the Configuration may be expressed as the external argument of the predicates in this frame. In this frame, it is ambiguous whether or not the Individuals intentionally come together. In an alternative construal, a grammatically more prominent Party_1 congregates with a Party_2, expressed as an oblique phrase. If this asymmetric construal is chosen, Purpose relates only to Party_1.
