Frame semantics is a theory of meaning that explores how people understand and categorize their experiences based on mental structures called frames. Developed by Charles Fillmore, this approach suggests that words evoke specific frames, which are cognitive structures that provide context and shape interpretation. For example, the word "bank" can trigger different frames related to a financial institution or the side of a river, depending on context. Frame semantics emphasizes the role of background knowledge and cultural understanding in language comprehension, highlighting how meaning is constructed through the interaction of language and experience. This theory provides insights into how language reflects and organizes human thought.
