Used byCLAIM-083 — Pragmatic translation fidelity is the preservation, under corresponding communicative conditions, of the ways an utterance transforms interpretation, interpersonal alignment and the possibilities for subsequent interaction, CLAIM-127 — Conditioning on a communicative situation, intervening on it and intervening on what the interpreter is told are three different operations, so a framing intervention should index the empirical model, e_C^a = P(Y_C | do(a)), not enter its cover as one more context, CLAIM-130 — Telling an interpreter about a communicative situation, do(I = a), is a different intervention from changing the situation, do(S = s): only a do(S) intervenes on the relations that would constitute an act, and in a vignette or rating study every manipulation is a do(I), CLAIM-160 — Data written for a potential future receiver has its intended meaning fixed by the write: even if it is never read, what it was meant to say was settled when it was stored
SupersedesTERM-031 — frame, as a measurement context
Cited as “uses” byCLAIM-004 — Not every difference between translations is a difference of frame: some change the act being framed, CLAIM-061 — Renderings that keep the proposition can perform a different communicative act, so preserving the proposition is not sufficient for preserving the communicative event, CLAIM-064 — A translation reconstructs not only what is said but the situation of its saying

Definition

A38 §2.3 restored the tuple f = (S, A, K, N, G): speaker position, audience, common ground, operative norms, genre. A frame “must be more than an analyst’s interpretive label”, and changing “the description of an utterance” differs from changing “the communicative situation”. A39 §3.1 folded the utterance and the interaction history in, c = (u, s, a, k, n, g, h), and §3.2 defined “a pragmatic frame as a configuration of relevant social and interpretive conditions”. It extends A24’s measurement context (TERM-031) with norms and history, and is no longer an index on judgements only.

What it is not

Not an act on a reader: that is a framing intervention (TERM-018). A39: “A friend speaking is a property of a communicative situation.”
