AT-CORE-238-004 · ATLAS 251

Frame

A knowledge frame that determines which roles, relations, and expectations a term activates.

Explanation

A knowledge frame that determines which roles, relations, and expectations a term activates. It shows that meaning is organised by an evoked situation.

Example

The word rescue evokes danger, rescuers, and those rescued.

Counterexample

Merely mentioning “Frame” without the described function is not a sufficient example.

Distinction

Do not equate it with a narrower subtype or a merely adjacent concept; the defining function is decisive.

Effect on thought and perception

It shows that meaning is organised by an evoked situation.

Resonance

In the atlas, Frame forms a node joined by 5 previously unresolved reference lines.

Etymology

Technical core term; individual etymological review pending

Provenance

Unresolved relation network → core-concept review → Metzler/HWRh cross-check → ATLAS 238
