FRAMING MEANING: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT AND THEORETICAL EVOLUTION OF FRAME SEMANTICS

This article explores the historical development and theoretical evolution of frame semantics, a linguistic framework that examines how meaning is constructed through cognitive structures or "frames." Through empirical analysis, the study traces the origins of frame semantics, its key contributors, and its progression over time. It highlights how the theory has adapted to address challenges in understanding context, conceptualization, and language use. The article likely combines qualitative and quantitative methods to assess primary texts, case studies, or linguistic data, offering insights into how frame semantics has shaped modern linguistic theory and its applications in fields such as cognitive science and natural language processing.
