Perception_body

Definition:

This frame contains words describing physical experiences that can affect virtually any part of the body. The body part affected is almost always mentioned with these words. It is typically expressed by the noun heading the external argument, and this noun is typically accompanied by a possessive determiner that refers to the possessor of the body part: My head hurts!.

FEs:

Core:
Body_part [BodP]
Semantic Type
Body_part
This FE is the location on the body where the physical experience takes place, typically expressed as External Argument, often as PP complement: My legs are a little SORE. I'm a little SORE in my legs.

Experiencer [Exp]
Semantic Type
Sentient
The Experiencer is the being who has a physical experience on some part of his or her body, or internally. Often information about this frame element is incorporated as a possessive determiner into the constituent expressing the Body Part, in which case it is not tagged separately (from Body Part), as shown below: My legs HURT! Sometimes, however, this frame element is expressed as an External Argument in its own right: I HURT all over! Here, the phrase all over can be considered a kind of generalized Body Part expression, and the pronoun I expresses the Experiencer independently. With nouns and adjectives in this frame, the separate expression of the Experiencer is more common: I have a PAIN in my leg.
