| This is an abstract frame for acts performed by sentient beings. It exists mostly for FE inheritance. |
| Act [Act] Semantic Type State_of_affairs | This FE identifies the Act that the Agent performs intentionally. | |
| Agent [Agt] Semantic Type Sentient | The Agent performs the intentional act. | |
Non-Core: | ||
| Domain [dom] | The Domain within which the Agent acts. | |
| No doubt he has begun to engage in political ACTIVITY of late | ||
| Event_dscription [] | This FE gives a description of the Intentionally_act event. | |
| Explanation [] | The Explanation denotes a proposition from which the main clause (headed by the target) logically follows. This often means that the Explanation causes the state of affairs expressed by the target, but not in all cases. | |
| Frequency [fre] | The Frequency with which the Agent does the Act in a given period of time. | |
| Manner [Mnr] Semantic Type Manner | Any description of the intentional act which is not covered by more specific FEs, including secondary effects (quietly, loudly), and general descriptions comparing events (the same way). In addition, it may indicate salient characteristics of an Agent that also affect the action (presumptuously, coldly, deliberately, eagerly, carefully). | |
| 'Twould be best it were DONE quietly. | ||
| Means [Means] Semantic Type State_of_affairs | This FE identifies the Means by which an Agent acts intentionally. | |
| Particular_iteration [par] | Expressions marked with this extra-thematic FE modify a non-iterative use of the target, and indicate that it is conceived as embedded within an iterated series of similar events or states. | |
| Period_of_iterations [] | The length of time from when the event denoted by the target began to be repeated to when it stopped. | |
| Place [Place] Semantic Type Locative_relation | This FE identifies the place where the intentional act occurs. | |
| Purpose [Purp] Semantic Type State_of_affairs | This FE identifies the purpose for which an Agent performs an intentional act. John FLATTERED her to receive a raise. | |
| Result [] | The Result of an act. | |
| Time [Time] Semantic Type Time | This FE identifies the time when the Agent acts intentionally. | |
