| The words in this frame describe motion in terms of the shape of the path traversed by the entity that moves. | |
| Max GIRÓ a la derecha para tomar la carretera principal. | |
| Some predicates indicate a path in relation with the current path (girar, virar), an implicit linear path (zigzaguear), the Theme's own path (desviarse), or another Theme's path (cruzarse): | |
| El avión SE DESVIÓ de su ruta por casuas desconocidas. | |
| Max SE CRUZÓ con Eva por la calle. | |
| Other predicates indicate a path in relation with the area (Area) which is crossed (cruzar, atravesar), or the limits of the Area (bordear, esquivar). Other predicates in this frame indicate the path in relation with the type of path which is crossed and the way it is crossed (vadear). Finally, some predicates indicate a nonoriented path (vagar, merodear, vagabundear). The predicates that indicate a path in relation with the limits of the Area: | |
| BORDEAMOS el lago para llegar a la casa. | |
| can also be used to describe the shape of a physical path, such as a road or trail: | |
| La antigua carretera BORDEABA el lago. | |
| In some cases, the Road is formed by a collection of objects which are contrued as a physical path: | |
| Las acacias BORDEBAN el estanque. | |
| In these uses they are not literally motion verbs, but express what Langacker (1987) calls subjective motion. Such uses are annotated, but not ultimately treated as part of this frame. Predicates like bordear should be distinguished form others like bifurcar which can only be used to describe the shape of a physical or metaphorical path: | |
| La carretera SE BIFURCA después del puente. | |
| A partir de aquel momento, nuestros caminos SE BIFURCARON para siempre. | |
| Road [Roa] | A physical path that a virtual moving entity can be imagined to travel along. | |
| El camino de tierra BORDEA el lago. | ||
| Theme [Thm] | The Theme is the object which moves. In many sentences this FE will be expressed as something which moves under its own power. However, this FE is not required to be an animate mover, so it is different from Self-mover. | |

Non-Core: | ||
| Area [Are] | The FE Area is used for expressions which describe a general area in which motion takes place. Motion does not have to be regular or to consist of a single linear path. | |

| Goal [Goa] Semantic Type Goal | Any expression which tells where the Theme ends up as a result of the motion expresses the frame element Goal. | |
| Los ciclistas RECORRERÁN los Alpes italianos hasta llegar a Sestrieres. | ||
| Manner [Manr] Semantic Type Manner | Any expression which describes a property of motion which is not directly related to the trajectory of motion expresses the FE Manner. Descriptions of speed, steadiness, grace, means of motion, and other things count as Manner expressions. | |
| Las aves de rapiña REVOLOTEABAN en círculos sobre su cuerpo inerte. | ||
| Means [Mea] Semantic Type State_of_affairs | An state of affairs involving the Road that allows the Road to be in the specified configuration. | |
| As the Condell Road the route SKIRTS the northside of Limerick by passing through Westfield's bird sanctuary on the north bank of the River Shannon. | ||
| Path [Path] | Any description of a trajectory of motion which is neither a Source nor a Goal (see below) expresses the FE Path, including directional expressions. | |
| Durante la expedición, tuvimos que VADEAR un río por un lugar estrecho y algo profundo . | ||
| Place [] Semantic Type Locative_relation | The Place is where the motion (which is specified by a Source, Path or Goal) is located. | |
