A Projects: general aspects of a theory of frames
This area of the CRC addresses foundational issues concerning frames. The topics of the projects range from formal properties of frames and frame composition to the grounding of frames in basic sensory-motor representations, the activation of frames and particular frame attributes in language production and comprehension, the history of the notion of frames in philosophy, and the role of frames in the representation of scientific theories.

A01: Mathematical modeling of frames
Head of the project: Jun.-Prof. Dr. Wiebke Petersen
A02: Argument linking and extended locality. A frame-based implementation.
Head of the project: Prof. Dr. Laura Kallmeyer
A04: Accessing conceptual information in language production and comprehension
Head of the project: Prof. Dr. Dr. Peter Indefrey
A05: Presuppositions of frame theory in the history of philosophy
Head of the project: Prof. Dr. Christoph Kann
A06: Logic and ontology of the cognitive representation of theories: Frames, sentences and models in comparison
Head of the project: Prof. Dr. Gerhard Schurz
Completed Projects:
A03: Grounded cognition: Causal indexicals and affordances in frames
Head of the project: Prof. Dr. Gottfried Vosgerau
