But lastly, there are some words, like scold , berate , flatter , and compliment , in which the Evaluee is necessarily the same individual as the Addressee. In My boss scolded me , I am not only the object of his disapproval, but I have to listen to what he says about me. We would like the database to include all such information, so that the words that participate in more than one frame can show up in response to queries about either of the frames. There are some words that belong simultaneously to a conversation frame and a dispute frame. Interestingly, these two frames themselves involve a blend, between an abstract Reciprocity frame, operating in a great many domains, and speaking on the one hand and assailing on the other hand.
Fight words are words having to do with mutual assailing.
We fought over the land , over a woman , etc. There is a class of words that belong to both the Fight frame and the Conversation frame, being words representing verbal disputes. While clearly involving conversation, they can be accompanied by an oblique PP indicating the Issue of dispute, and this can be marked by the preposition over. It was suggested above that some frames are complex in that they designate sequences of states of affairs and transitions between them, each of which can itself be separately described as a frame. This can be seen most clearly in the case of verbs that can designate both simple and complex event types, and in the complex event situation they have syntactic objects unmotivated by their basic meanings.
