Frame semantics
Help me finding the right frame!
Consider the following sentences again:
- The haystack was important because the cloth ripped.
- The journey was not delayed because the bottle shattered.
Does each of the sentences become more meaningful to you if you place it within one of the following frames?
- Washing clothes
- Launching a ship
- Typing a letter
- Making a parachute jump
- Playing a football game
