<strong>Frame</strong> Elements (FEs)<br />

• <strong>Frame</strong> Element (FE): The participants, props<br />

<strong>and</strong> roles of a frame. These can include<br />

agents, inanimate objects, <strong>and</strong> elements of<br />

<strong>the</strong> setting.<br />

• The syntactic dependents (broadly construed)<br />

of a predicating word correspond to <strong>the</strong> frame<br />

elements of <strong>the</strong> frame (or frames) associated<br />

with that word.<br />

• Each FE is defined relative to a single frame.<br />

Any connections between FEs have to be<br />

made explicitly.
