Frame Semantics is a significant area within cognitive semantics, focusing on how language is connected to human experience and understanding. It suggests that understanding a concept requires understanding the system of concepts it is part of, meaning that introducing one concept makes the entire system available. This approach views words as categories of experience and aims to uncover the reasons a speech community has for categorizing experiences in particular ways. For example, Petruck (1996) outlines Frame Semantics as a research program that emphasizes the continuity between language and experience, aiming to understand words by exploring the categories of experience they represent and the reasons behind these categorizations (Petruck, 1996).
