Abstract: Within the cognitive approach human language can be viewed as an integral part of a complicated system of cognition responsible for processing and storing information. The research is focused on the frames of consumption and gesticulation as accessed from their verbal representations in the English language. The study seeks to explore obligatory and optional components of the above mentioned frames. The analysis reveals the way in which components of the frame structure correlate with the propositional structure of the sentence as well as the way the implicit meanings are realized in speech. The research demonstrates the usefulness of frames in relating world knowledge and language structure.
