| A Speaker talks about a Topic, which may be an action performed by the Speaker or an entity or state of affairs that they are associated with in order to suggest that the Speaker is worthy of admiration. The Speaker may give an explicit Reason why the Topic redounds to their credit. Alternatively, a Message frame element can be used to directly describe what the Speaker says, leaving the more specific Reason for admirability to be inferred. Instead of the Speaker, the action may be attributed metonymically to the Medium, or possibly the Expressor. | |
