Frame modelling of the semantics of the positional verbs (based on the verbs 'squat’ and ‘kneel’)

The article deals with the frame analysis of the English positional verbs ‘squat’ and ‘kneel’ by the methodology of L. Barsalou and W. Petersen. There are defined the key conceptual signs of the marked by verbs situations transforming into the attributes of frames. The attributes are filled by the information of the concrete character and make a complicated complex “attribute-sign”. The frame modelling is realized on the basis of the linguistic data but it supposes the enlargement of the analysis by means of the usage of the extralinguistic knowledge.
