| An Item belongs to a Category, as (often implicitly) conceived of by a Cognizer. |
| Category [Cat] | This frame element expresses a general type or class of which the Item is considered an instance. Typically, it is expressed in a prepositional phrase headed by as or under. | |
| I'd say that this book COUNTS as fiction. | ||
| Criteria [Crit] | This frame element expresses properties of the Item which is used as a basis for categorization. Criteria are the general dimensions along which Items can potentially differ from one another and hence, fall into different Categorys. For example, a paint sample can be classified by color or by finish (matte or gloss); if they are classified by color, one can be classified as orange and another as red. The Criteria FE is typically expressed as a PP headed by by, or as a complex PP of the form on the basis of...: | |
| If it COUNTS as knowledge in part on the basis of justification from another source, it must be in part based on that source | ||
| Item [Item] | This is the entity which is is an instance of a particular Category. Typically, the Item is expressed as the external argument. | |
| To me, finding this is TANTAMOUNT to finding the fabeled El Dorado. | ||
Non-Core: | ||
| Circumstances [] | The Circumstances are the set of conditions in which the categorization holds. | |
| Material posessions COUNT as valuable in a particular society. | ||
| Cognizer [Cog] Semantic Type Sentient | This is the person who performs an act of categorization. Typically, this frame element is expressed as an oblique. | |
| But to me, a bad thought CONSTITUTES a sin just as well. | ||
| Manner [Manr] Semantic Type Manner | The Manner in which an Item (metaphorically) is construed as being in a Category. | |
| Means [Mns] Semantic Type State_of_affairs | An act or state of affairs by which the Item (perhaps metaphorically) is interpreted as being in a Category. | |
| Time [Tm] Semantic Type Time | This Frame Element marks expressions that indicate when a certain Categorization holds. | |
| Fold in inflation and what COUNTED as shameful gouging 20 years ago is today called charging what the market will bear. | ||
