| This frame concerns a Cognizer (a person or other intelligent being) paying close attention to something, the Ground, in order to discover and note its salient characteristics. The Cognizer may be interested in a particular characteristic or entity, the Phenomenon, that belongs to the Ground or is contained in the Ground (or to ensure that such a property of entity is not present). Some words in this frame allow alternate expressions of the Groundand the Phenomenon: | |
| We SEARCHED the yard for my contact lens. | |
| Cognizer [Cog] Semantic Type Sentient | The Cognizer pays attention to an entity in order to discover something about it. The FE is normally expressed as an External Argument: | |
| Leslie EXAMINED the glass for cracks. | ||
| Ground [Ground] | The Cognizer pays attention to the Ground, so named because it serves as the background or context for the Phenomenon. This FE can be expressed as an NP Object or as a PP Complement. | |
| Leslie EXAMINED the glass for cracks. | ||
| Kim SEARCHED the woods for mushrooms. | ||
| Instrument [ins] | An entity directed by the Cognizer that interacts with the Ground to accomplish the scrutiny. | |
| The temperature controller MONITORED the temperature with a calibrated silicon diode. | ||
| Medium [Med] | The Medium is the piece of text or work in which the Cognizer pays attention to an entity in order to discover something about it. The FE is normally expressed as an External Argument: | |
| Chapter four EXAMINED the case for free speech. | ||
Non-Core: | ||
| Degree [Degr] Semantic Type Degree | This FE identifies the Degree to which the Cognizer scrutinizes the Ground. | |

| The detective LOOKED across the street at the suspect. | ||
