Attribute.Classifying
Frames ascribing a non-gradable property that places the bearer in a category of a dimension: relational adjectives, identity descriptors, legal or religious status, shape and pattern types, colour regions.
Attribute.Gradable
Frames ascribing to a bearer a position on a scale that holds against a standard, relative (alto, bonito) or absolute (completo, cheio). Degree modifiers and comparatives apply.
Attribute.Measured_value
Frames giving a value as a quantity: a count of units, a number, a ratio, a sum, or the unit itself.
Attribute.Modal
Frames ascribing a property defined by what can, must, should or tends to happen with a single bearer: capability, access, possibility, likelihood, propensity, requirement.
Attribute.Modifier
Frames whose lexical units modify another predicate instead of describing an entity: degree, approximation, manner, expectation.
Entity
Frames that represent entities.
Eventive.Agentive
Frames with an Agent (intentional, volitional) or a Cause (non-intentional) that either performs an activity or brings about a change in another entity.
Eventive.Change
Frames profiling an entity that comes to be in a new condition — the onset of a resultant state (BECOME) or a directed change along a named dimension (SHIFT, Initial→Final), spatial or abstract, including motion (change of location). Sits in the Agentive → Change → State chain. Formerly Inchoative; absorbs the former Transition.
Eventive.Phenomenon
Frames profiling a bare occurrence with no caused change, taken as a single unit/punctual happening: no agent, no cause acting on a patient, no experiencer. Natural phenomena, spontaneous occurrences, existence.
Eventive.Undergoing
Frames foregrounding an affected Patient to which something happens — subjected to, exposed to, or affected by an externally-instigated event, viewed from the undergoer's perspective. The patient-focused counterpart of Agentive (semantic, not voice-based).
Experiential.Change
Frames profiling an experiencer entering or leaving a psychological condition: coming to believe, noticing, finding, losing sight of, falling asleep, waking up.
Experiential.Experiencer_state
Frames profiling an experiencer in a psychological or sensory condition that holds: knowing, believing, feeling, wanting, sensing, being awake. The faculty (emotion, perception, cognition) is recorded by the domain.
Experiential.Mental_activity
Frames profiling an experiencer carrying out a mental or perceptual process, usually controlled and extended in time: thinking, examining, calculating, deciding, memorizing, looking, searching.
Experiential.Stimulus_oriented
Frames profiling the stimulus or content of an experience: it brings the experience about, or it is described by the experience it evokes (frightening, interesting, reminding, known).
Pragmatic
Pragmatic frames — frames whose interpretation depends on the utterance context (speaker, addressee, deixis).
Relation.Association
Frames profiling a holding tie between participants defined by complementary or shared roles: possession, kinship, partnership, employment, hosting, control, naming, meaning, aboutness.
Relation.Classification_identity
Frames relating an instance to a type, a category or another instance: instance-of, subtype, category membership, same or different instance.
Relation.Comparison_ordering
Frames setting relata against each other or against a standard, or placing them in a sequence: similarity, equivalence, surpassing, ranking, ordinals, conformity to a norm.
Relation.Dependency
Frames in which one situation conditions, requires, explains, indicates or serves another: condition, negation, requirement, obligation, reason, purpose, means, function, evidence, signs.
Relation.Localization
Frames placing a figure relative to a ground or landmark, in space or in time: location, containment, proximity, contact, direction, covering, residence, origin, temporal location and order.
Relation.Part_membership
Frames relating a part to a whole, a subset or member to a set or group, or a remainder to what it remains of.
State
Frames profiling an entity being in a stable situation: a maintained condition (held against change), a resultant condition (the outcome of a producing event) or a general situation (existing, being at risk). Applies after Attribute, Relation and Experiential are excluded. Formerly Stative.
