<def-root>A <fen>Sender</fen> plans the <fen>Path</fen> (along with <fen>Source</fen> and <fen>Goal</fen>) of a <fen>Theme</fen> and places it in circumstances such that it travels along this <fen>Path</fen> under the power of some entity other than the <fen>Sender</fen>. This frame also has a <fen>Recipient</fen> distinct from the <fen>Goal</fen>, as both can be present:
<ex>I <t>sent</t> the manuscript <fex name="Goal">to England</fex> <fex name="Recipient">to Bill</fex>.</ex>
<ex>I <t>forwarded</t> the grain <fex name="Recipient">to a dealer</fex> <fex name="Goal">in Frankfurt</fex>.</ex>
This frame contains verbs that participate in the ditransitive construction, with a recipient as the direct object, as in the following: <ex>I <t>sent</t> <fex name="Recipient">Bill</fex> the manuscript.</ex>
Certain Verbs in this Frame focus on the initial sending act, while others do not. For example, <ment>I sent it rapidly</ment> can either mean the act of sending was initiated quickly or that it moved quickly.
However, the in following sentence: <ment>I exported/dispatched it rapidly</ment>, meaning that the act was begun quickly, both types of verbs are included.</def-root>
<def-root>This is the person who initiates the movement of the <fen>Theme</fen> and, unlike Carrying, does not accompany it.</def-root>
