Abstract

This article aims to provide an alternative way to describe meanings of event nouns in Frame Semantics (cf. Fillmore 1977, 1982, 1985). In recent works in FrameNet, semantics of event nouns are given as combination of support verbs (e.g., {make, pass, ...} examination). This paper proposes an alternative analysis of event nouns as follows: an event noun evokes a frame, a support verb realizes a frame element (a participant belonging to the frame evoked by event noun). As a case study, quantitative analysis of a noun 'examination' is provided. A simplified version of behavioral profile (Gries 2010) is employed to analyze the realization pattern of a frame element, depending on the different types of the support verbs. As a result, the analysis shown in this article can describe various meanings of 'examinination' in a simplified and coherent fashion.
