130Figure 20. Lexical entry report of argue: FEs and theirsyntactic realizations (FrameNet 2012)Also, a second table illustrates the valence patterns of the LU, i.e. itscombinatorial requirements in terms of the number and kinds of arguments with whichit can combine (Figure 21). Figure 21 shows that the FEs ARGUER1, ARGUER2 andISSUE co-occur 20 times, whereas the FEs ARGUERS and ISSUE co-occur 18 times. Wealso learn, for instance, that the FE ARGUERS occurs only as a noun phrase externalargument (subject), whereas there is a wider variety in the syntactic realizations of theFEs ARGUER1 and ARGUER2.
