Semantic frame analysis refers to an analytical approach that focusses on patterns of language use with respect to mental structures (frames) which are evoked by words, phrases and grammatical constructions. Based on Frame Semantics, a theory accentuating the continuities between language and experience, the approach assumes that one can only fully understand the meaning of a word when considering its specific context of use. The focus is on background knowledge (necessary for understanding) that is organized in frames (slot-filler structures) that describe entities, situations or events. Frames guide comprehension and verbalization processes. The founder of the linguistic frame theory is Charles J. Fillmore.<\/p>\n

Semantic frame analyses are considered a central component of corpus linguistic discourse analysis. There are currently two main approaches to frames. The first one considers verbs as frame-evoking elements, the second focuses on nouns. Verb frames (Berkeley FrameNet-Project<\/em>) describe more or less dynamic situations or scripts where core and non-core frame-elements (semantic roles) step onto the scene as they are instantiated by concrete fillers. The verbs \u2018to buy\u2019 or \u2018to purchase\u2019, for instance, evoke a frame that describes a basic commercial transaction. Depending on the communicative situation, frame-elements like \u2018Buyer\u2019, \u2018Goods\u2019, \u2018Money\u2019 or \u2018Place\u2019 might be filled (instantiated): In the sentence \u201cThe kid buys a book\u201d, for example, only two frame-elements are instantiated: \u2018Buyer\u2019 (kid) and \u2018Goods\u2019 (book). However, the reader, listener or interlocutor knows that one needs \u2018Money\u2019 in order to buy something and that the transaction takes place at a specific \u2018Place\u2019. In this example, \u2018Buyer\u2019 and \u2018Goods\u2019 are in the foreground; further frame-elements are not verbalized and specified. This is how the event (transaction) is framed.<\/p>\n

The second frame approach focuses on nouns as frame-evoking elements for \u2018concept frames\u2019. It is inspired by the psychologically informed frame theory developed by Barsalou (1992), where slots (frame-elements) correspond to attributes describing entities (e. g. the color of a fruit) and fillers to specific values (e. g. red). In this regard, Minsky\u2019s (1977) model of cognitive frames has also been very influential.<\/p>\n

Within the scope of corpus linguistic approaches to political discourse, a quantitative motivated framing analysis can help to reveal hegemonic strategies and to uncover ideological manipulation. This involves looking at which frames and which frame elements are in the foreground in certain discursive contexts and which values instantiate dominant frame elements.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
