Becoming_aware

Definition:

Words in this frame have to do with a Cognizer, usually a person, becoming aware of some Phenomenon without a process of reasoning. Predicates in this frame are similar to Coming_to_believe words, except the latter generally involve reasoning from Evidence. The words in this frame take direct objects that denote entities in the world, and indicate awareness of those entities, without necessarily giving any information about the content of the Cognizer's belief or knowledge. These words also resemble perception words, since creatures often become aware of things by perceiving them.

Sandokán SE DIO CUENTA con dolor de que aquel sapo no era una princesa encantada.

Eva NOTÓ que Max se había pasado un poco durante la conferencia.

La policía le RECONOCIÓ inmediatamente.
