Abstract

This study treats the construal and perspectivization of the concept of memory in modern English. Using data from British National Corpus and various literary sources, we examine the lexical field of memory verbs. Employing the analytical model of Frame Semantics, the investigation demonstrates how a combination of semantic feature and frame analysis may capture the various ways that English construes the concept of memory and remembering.
