| Two (or more) people (the Interlocutors, also encodable as Interlocutor_1 and Interlocutor_2) talk to one another. No person is construed as only a speaker or only an addressee. Rather, it is understood that both (or all) participants do some speaking and some listening --the process is understood to be symmetrical or reciprocal. This frame differs from the Chatting frame in that the Interlocutors have a particular question that they are attempting to decide or understand. | |
| Ambos políticos DEBATIERON ampliamente los problemas fundamentales de la economía mundial. | |
| Es imposible mantener un DIÁLOGO con una banda de asesinos. INI | |
| Interlocutor_1 [Int_1] | In cases where the Interlocutors involved in a conversation are construed as two separate groups with different levels of volitionality or control, this FE identifies the conversational participant with greater semantic and syntactic prominence, as compared with Interlocutor_2. That is, Interlocutor_1 is generally encoded as External, and peripheral FEs that do not make reference to the event itself generally make reference to Interlocutor_1. Thus a Purpose (or Means, Depictive, or Manner) is construed to be that of Interlocutor_1, not necessarily that of Interlocutor_2 or the group of Interlocutors as a whole. | |
| El director DEBATIÓ ampliamente con sus asesores para preparar la conferencia de prensa. | ||
| Interlocutor_2 [Int_2] | In cases where the Interlocutors involved in a conversation are construed as two separate groups with different levels of volitionality or control, Interlocutor_2 refers to the semantically and grammatically less prominent group. It is generally encoded within a prepositional phrase (e.g. headed by con 'with'). Note that it is possible for a single role to correspond to multiple referents. For example, if the prepositional object in the example below were plural, we would still assign it the single role Interlocutor_2. | |
| El director general DEBATIÓ ampliamente con su asesor principal antes de firmar el contrato de venta. | ||
| Interlocutors [Int] | In some sentences, both participants are expressed by the External, and there is no con (with) phrase (cf. example 1). In sentences like this, the External is assigned the FE role Interlocutors. In such sentences, the External always denotes more than one person, and it is understood that the reciprocal communication takes place between these two (or more) people. The External may denote two or more people either through conjunction, as in example 1, or through plurality, as in example 2, or by denoting a group, as in example 3. In each of these cases the FE Interlocutors is assigned. Notice that for nouns in the Discussion frame, it is possible for the Interlocutors role to be expressed by a prepositional phrase as in example 4. | |

| Topic [Top] | Topic expresses the subject that the Interlocutors are trying to come to some agreement about. It may refer, for example, to an undesirable issue that the Interlocutors want to have the proper response to, or it may refer more directly to an unresolved question. | |
| No se DISCUTIÓ el tema durante la reunión. | ||
