Content

It tries to give a comprehensive explanation on how meanings are structured and associated to words in a semantic structure and how these provide access to our conceptual system, the inventory of structured knowledge that we use to navigate the world.This view gives account for relations between words that cannot just be ascribed to structural semantic relations like hyponymy, synonymy orantonymy. Instead, it describes the interdependencies between words based on background knowledge that humans acquire through experience and store in long-term memory.

Result/Findings

The frame is a knowledge system that provides a range of licensed relationships among the attributesdescribing the event-sequence potential of the frame. The human can identify the meaning of the words by they experience or activity in long time memory. Semantic is something that has complicated meaning. The overbalance from tihis journal is the searcher explain with the her experince and give us knowledge about semantic with detail,and the weakness of this journal is the writer not write the problem formulation and hyphotheses.

                                    

   Strength and Weakness

Strength : I think this article is fundamental knowledge of semantic and it is important for we know. And The author analysis is something new that we found of many article about semantic. I am so interested with the Frame semantics. The example is great. There are some pictures here. The letter that author used is so neat and will be easy to understand.

Weakness: The author said his dissertation is can not be considered exhaustive, but he have tried to give described the main terms of the theory.

Conclusion

Many other authors have developed this framework, including the remarkable attempt by Lakoff & Johnson in describing the concept of reframing in political discourse based on frame semantics’ approach and the role of metaphors and metonymy in natural languages. Lakoff’s approach is particularly interesting because it is not just an analytical framework but very much also a set of practical tools usable in everyday life.Another important contribution is the one proposed by Fauconier and Turner describing the characteristics of mental spaces that pose the ground for blending theory.

This article give an account for frame semantics approach to knowledge representations as described by Fillmore and the researchers that have developed his approach, including Langacker’s domains’ description and Barsalou perceptual symbols.
