Frames grouping together opposite termsFrames can also group together opposite terms. For instance, the frame [Validity] ofproceeding illustrated in Table 25 groups together the Portuguese intransitive verbsimproceder 1 and proceder 1 .This frame describes a scenario in which an application to acourt of justice is valid or invalid. The verb improceder 1 profiles the invalidity of theProceeding, whereas the verb proceder 1 profiles the validity of it. As the only differencebetween improceder 1 and proceder 1 consists in a negative/positive contrast against whichthe proceeding is validated or not, they can be considered opposite terms.
