I still could not wrap my head around the whole idea of frames. However, I did like the structure that was described in relation to linguistics.

• Surface Syntactic Frames – verb and noun structures
• Surface Semantic Frames – action–centered meaning of words
• Thematic Frames – settings
• Narrative Frames – stories

We could notice the structure—from the detail towards the bigger picture. Patterns like these are also relevant to Information Architecture.
