2. how can we acount for the difference in meaning_

   • eg :

     • that beach is safe
   • answer (2 solutions)
     • encyclopedic effect
       • explaination
         • meaning interact with our ency knowledge
           • notion associated with beach or toys
             • associate with frames
       • conclusion
         • meaning is not the resutts of the word but of the frame we associate with it
           • reinterpret the word with regard to the associated frame
     • conceptual effect
       • explaination
         • interpret meaning in a certain context
           • eg
             • the grass is green
               • uni
                 • plant
               • DEA
                 • drug
     • (word itself)
   • meaning is hard work
     • hoe does context and frame interact to yield meaning?

     • ecyclopedic effect is not contextual effect
       • switching frame is encyclopedical
         • no max goldberg frame but a harvey one
