B Projects: Dynamic Frames in Language and Science

While the projects of Group A investigate general aspects of a theory of frames, the projects of Group B contribute exploratory work on the nature of frames in a wide-spread range of applications. This work will clarify aspects such as the kind of attributes that constitute the frames in certain fields and the types of frames to be observed. One uniting aspect of all projects in the group is the relevance of temporal and causal attributes in the concepts they are dealing with; these projects contribute to the first and second aspect of dynamics mentioned above.
