<def-root>Words in this frame have to do with a <fen>Cognizer</fen> believing that some <fen>Phenomenon</fen> will take place in the future. Some words in the frame (e.g. <ment>foresee.v</ment>) indicate that the <fen>Phenomenon</fen> is asserted also to be true, while others do not.
<ex><fex name="Cog">Michael</fex> <t>expected</t> <fex name="Phen">Abby</fex> <fex name="Phen">to demand examples</fex>.</ex>
<ex><fex name="Evidence">From the look on her face</fex> <fex name="Cog">Michael</fex> <t>expected</t> <fex name="Phen">that she would say she got the job</fex>.</ex>
</def-root>
<def-root>This is the person who believes some Phenomenon will take place in the future. It is normally expressed as an External Argument: <fex name="Cognizer">Pat</fex> <t>expects</t> that the Yankees will win the World Series. </def-root>
<def-root>This is what the Cognizer believes will happen in the future. It can be expressed as a Finite Clause Complement, an NP Object, or a VP Complement with or without an NP Object (see General Grammatical Observations):
<ex>Pat <t>expects</t> <fex name="Phenomenon">that the Yankees will win the World Series</fex>.</ex>
<ex>Pat <t>expects</t> <fex name="Phenomenon">a big win</fex>.</ex>
<ex>Pat <t>expects</t> <fex name="Phenomenon">the Yankees</fex> <fex name="Phenomenon">to win the World Series</fex>.</ex>
General Grammatical Observations: Many of the verbs in this frame allow Raising: Pat <t>expects</t> it to rain. In the example above, the word <ment>it</ment> is grammatically the Object of the target verb <ment>expect</ment>, but it does not express an FE. Rather, it is merely construed as the External Argument of the verb <ment>rain</ment>, which heads the VP Complement of the target. In this situation, both the raised consituent <ment>it</ment> and the VP Complement are marked with the <fex name="Phen">Phenomenon</fex> FE, but are marked as separate constituents. That is because the Object can be passivized and therefore not appear adjacent to the VP Complement: It is <t>expected</t> to rain. </def-root>

<def-root>Depictive phrase describing the actor of an action

<def-root>Words in this frame may occur with a PP headed by <ment>from</ment> which expresses the Evidence on which knowledge or belief is based: I have <t>learned</t> <fex name="Evidence">from experience</fex> that poison oak can be painful. </def-root>
<def-root>The location where the <fen>Cognizer</fen> foresees the <fen>Phenomenon</fen>.
<ex><fex name="pla">Even at the far side of the house</fex> I could <t>predict</t> what was going on the kitchen.</ex></def-root>
<def-root>The time when the <fen>Cognizer</fen> makes the prediction.
<ex>She <t>predicted</t> the outcry <fex name="tim">several months ago</fex>.</ex></def-root>
<def-root>An entity that serves as the focus of a predicted <fen>Phenomenon</fen>.
<ex><t>Predictions</t> <fex name="Topic">about stock prices</fex> are notoriously undependable.</ex></def-root>
<def-root>The time that the <fen>Cognizer</fen> expects the <fen>Phenomenon</fen> to occur. Note that it is distinct from simple <fen>Time</fen>, which is when the <fen>Cognizer</fen> is actually involved in thinking about the <fen>Phenomenon</fen>.
<ex>Another arrival is <t>expected</t> <fex name="time2">this Tuesday</fex> .</ex></def-root>
