| Figure : Форма |
|
The Figure is the entity located with respect to the Ground. |
|
|
| Ground : Земля |
|
The Ground is the area that the Figure is located in. |
|
|
| Profiled_region : Профильный регион |
|
The area or zone interior to the Ground. This FE excludes Figure and is only used in particular constructions such as the following: |
|
|
| Direction : Направление |
|
This FE identifies the Direction from a reference location (generally, the deictic center) of a path to the Figure. |
|
|
| Directness : Прямота |
|
An indication of how closely the position of Figure matches the prototype expected from the image schema associated with the target. This FE is normally filled by closed-class, dedicated adverbs like right, straight, directly, and due (and some combinations of these), but also occurs with rarer items like 'smack dab'. |
|
|
| Region_quantification : Количественная оценка региона |
|
A description of how much of a potential profiled region actually has (or is expected to have) a Figure in it. It is normally filled by closed-class items like 'all', 'somewhere', 'nowhere', etc. |
|
|
| Time : Время |
|
The time during which the Figure was located in the Ground. |
|
|
| Temporal_profile : Временной профиль |
|
A description of how the access path to the Ground interacts with time. This FE is filled only by the closed class of adverbials back.adv (which indicates that the position was occupied by the Figure before) and on.adv (which indicates a continued path). While this FE in its most basic use refers to cases of actual motion, it can be used with descriptions of static position, in which case it either refers to fictive, imagined motion (as in the first example below), or it backgrounds motion entirely (as in the second example). |
|
|
| Accessibility : Доступность |
|
This FE identifies the Accessibility between the Figure and some reference location (generally, the deictic center or the Ground). |
|
|
| Deixis : Дейксис |
|
An indication of how the locative phrase relates to the grounding of the speech situation, either locating it near (here) or far (there, yonder), or specifically separated from the speech context by distance or a barrier (over). Fillers of this FE are restricted to this closed class of items. |
