Seeing clearly: Frame Semantic, Psycholinguistic, and Cross ...

CHAPTER 2. A FRAME SEMANTIC ANALYSIS 63
frames and types are lowercase. Types are displayed to the bottom right of the object in
small italics. At the beginning of the discussion of each of the senses involving inheritance,
Ihave inserted a small diagram showing which frames inherit from (or \use") which. Where
a frame is used by a scene within another frame, the arrow showing this relationship goes
inside the boundary of the latter, directly to the inheriting scene.

Body part
The Body part role is appropriately called the \organ of perception" in the case
of see, hear, and smell, but the organ of perception is a little harder to de ne in the case
of taste, and amounts to the entire surface of the body in the case of touch.
