Relative_time [localization]
These words relate to the relative ordering of two events or times. There are two major types of relations evoked by the words of this frame.
Some of the words (e.g. follow.v, antecedent.a, previous.a) describe the (definitively) stative relationship between two events (the Landmark_occasion and the Focal_occasion). This first type will be moved to the Time_vector frame.
After she arrived , she laid out her papers on the desk.
The following morning, she tried to figure out what it meant . DNI
Others (e.g. belated.a, early.a) refer to the change or deviation of an event from the Landmark_occasion (which is expected or usual at a particular time) to the Focal_occasion (which occurs at a different time). Quite often, a Focal_participant who is saliently involved in the Focal_occasion stands in for the occasion.
My flight is early by 20 minutes.
I 'm late for my departure !
