| A Feature of two or more distinct entities, which may be concrete or abstract objects or types, serves to distinguish the Entities, or Entity_1 from Entity_2. The Feature FE is usually the external argument in this frame. | |
| El lunar de la barbilla permitía DISTINGUIR a los dos gemelos. | |
| Depending on figure/ground relations, the entities may be expressed in two distinct frame elements and constituents , Entity_1 and Entity_2, or jointly as a single frame element and constituent, Entities. The comparative distinctiveness may be based on appearance, physical properties, or other characteristics of the two entities. The Entities may be like each other to a greater or lesser Degree. Notice that, although similarity presupposes the notion of a judge who assesses similarity, that judge is not part of this frame. | |
| Entities [Ent] | The FE Entities marks constituents that express the set of objects or types whose similarity is at issue. | |
| Estas características específicas DISTINGUEN a los dos sistemas. | ||
| Entity_1 [Ent1] | When the Entities are expressed separately, Entity_1 is the one whose characteristics are assumed to be different. Entity_1 is compared to Entity_2 in order to establish its characteristics. | |
| Dos características importantes DISTINGUEN el sistema estadounidense de los de la mayoría de los países capitalistas. | ||
| Entity_2 [Ent2] | When the Entities are expressed separately, Entity_2 is the one whose characteristics are assumed to be known; it serves as a basis for establishing characteristics of Entity_1. | |
| Dos características importantes DISTINGUEN el sistema estadounidense de la mayoría de los países capitalistas. | ||
| Feature [Fea] | The FE Feature expresses the property that distinguishes one phenomenon from another, i.e. the Entities, or Entity_1 from Entity_2. It is normally expressed as an External argument. | |

Non-Core: | ||
| Degree [] | The extent to which entities are similar to each other, in general or with respect to some dimension. | |
| Depictive [] | The FE Depictive is used for any phrase describing the state of the entities. | |
| Manner [] | The FE Manner identifies how the Entities, or Entity_1 and Entity_2 are similar or different. | |
| Place [Pla] | The FE Place denotes the general area in which difference occurs or exists. | |
| Time [Tim] | This FE Time identifies the time when the similarity or difference occurs or exists. | |
