Case Frame analysis distinguishes the words of a language into two categories, predicators words that require completion by other words for their correct grammatical use] and non-predicators words that do not require such completion], and provides rigorous procedures for describing the syntactic, semantic, and lexical requirements that predicators impose on the words that complete their meaning. The inclusion of semantic function and feature descriptions...
