Speed_description [gradable]
An Entity is in motion at a particular Speed, a momentaneous description of distance traveled per time.
The car went by real fast.
The car is really fast.
Oh yeah, Maseratis are fast! INI
The speed of the car was 25 mph when it ran into the obstacle.
LUs of this frame are commonly involved in a semantic construction in which, instead of describing the current Speed, they rather describe some other Speed saliently associated with the Entity, such as maximum possible Speed of the Entity or (for an Entity used as an implement) Speed when in operation.
This construction can be defined as follows:
A phrase describing a temporary (stage-level) property (A) of an entity (B) is pumped to a phrase describing an individual-level property predicating or attributing the entity's (B's) salient association with such a property (A) under some salient conditions, especially the conditions of use of the entity. E.g., in the Temperature or Location_of_light frames:
I can never bake anything in my oven because it 's too hot.
She gave him a really bright flashlight for Christmas.
