Frame semantics
Frame semantics
Charles J. Fillmore
1. Introduction
With the term ‘frame semantics’ I have in mind a research program in empirical
semantics and a descriptive framework for presenting the results of such research.
Frame semantics offers a particular way of looking at word meanings, as well as
a way of characterizing principles for creating new words and phrases, for add-
ing new meanings to words, and for assembling the meanings of elements in a
text into the total meaning of the text. By the term ‘frame’ I have in mind any
system of concepts related in such a way that to understand any one of them you
have to understand the whole structure in which it fits; when one of the things in
such a structure is introduced into a text, or into a conversation, all of the others
are automatically made available. I intend the word ‘frame’ as used here to be a
general cover term for the set of concepts variously known, in the literature on
natural language understanding, as ‘schema’, ‘script’, ‘scenario’, ‘ideational scaf-
folding’, ‘cognitive model’, or ‘folk theory’.1
Frame semantics comes out of traditions of empirical semantics rather than
formal semantics. It is most akin to ethnographic semantics, the work of the
anthropologist who moves into an alien culture and asks such questions as, ‘What
categories of experience are encoded by the members of this speech community
through the linguistic choices that they make when they talk?’ A frame semantics
outlook is not (or is not necessarily) incompatible with work and results in formal
semantics; but it differs importantly from formal semantics in emphasizing the
continuities, rather than the discontinuities, between language and experience.
The ideas I will be presenting in this paper represent not so much a genuine theory
of empirical semantics as a set of warnings about the kinds of problems such a
theory will have to deal with. If we wish, we can think of the re
