| This is an abstract frame for durative activities, in which the Agent enters an ongoing state of the Activity, remains in this state for some Duration of Time, and leaves this state either by finishing or by stopping. The Agent's Activity should be intentional. This frame is intended mostly for the inheritance of common FEs, and to provide the frame structure for the beginning, ongoing, finish, or stop stage of an Activity, each of which constitutes a subframe of this frame. This frame should be compared to the Process frame. |
| Activity [Act] | This FE identifies the Activity in which the Agent is engaged. | |
| Agent [Agent] Semantic Type Sentient | The Agent is engaged in the Activity. | |
Non-Core: | ||
| Duration [Dur] Semantic Type Duration | This FE identifies the amount of Time an Activity takes. | |
| Manner [Manr] Semantic Type Manner | Any description of the activity which is not covered by more specific FEs, including secondary effects (quietly, loudly), and general descriptions comparing events (the same way). It may also indicate salient characteristics of an Agent that also affect the action (presumptuously, coldly, deliberately, eagerly, carefully). | |
| Place [Place] Semantic Type Locative_relation | This FE identifies the Place where the Activity occurs. | |
| Time [Time] Semantic Type Time | This FE identifies the Time when the Activity occurs. | |
