Within the generative framework, adult input is necessary for language development, but not sufficient, while for usage- based accounts adult input is argued to be both necessary and sufficient.
Frame semantics is a theory of meaning that emphasizes the role of mental structures, or frames, in understanding language. These frames provide context and shape our interpretation of words and sentences, connecting language to our experiences and knowledge about the world.
