FrameNet II FrameGrapher

FrameGrapher visualizes the relations between frames as a graph with "parent" frames pointing to "child" frames. Example: Both Manufacturing and Text_creation inherit from Intentionally_create, thus you would see an arrow from Intentionally_create to those frames. Select an initial frame to start with below and the graph will be displayed. Clicking on frame names leads you to see more of the graph--the display remembers what you've clicked on previously (until you use the "start fresh" option). Clicking on the frame relation arrow heads/tails reveals the relations between frame elements of the parent and child frames.

  • Maximum number of generations out from current frame to see (generation = "parent" and "children" degree outwards; minimum = 0):
    (Tip: When viewing frame element relations, it is often best to select the child frame and set this Max. generations to 1)

  • Maximum number of peripheral children frames to see (minimum = 0):
    Some frames have many children that might clutter the view of frames you want to focus on.
