Framing


  1. First what is Framing ?
  • Framing is about getting language that fits your worldview, its not only a primary language but it also carries those ideas and evokes those same ideas(A Man Of His Words, Lakoff George). To make it more simple, framing is a word to which you already have knowledge of that word based on recurring experiences.  Framing has a lot to do with your senses, because when you see or hear a word you associate it with an object or a past experience that reminds of that set word. 
Examples:

First

 The word "sell"  you could not understand the word "sell" without knowing anything about the trade of money and or goods to one another, the word "sell" can be associated with a seller, customer, goods, money, the relation between the money and the seller and also the relationship between the seller and the customer. So basically when you frame you are braking down the meaning of the word within your head and gathering a set meaning from that purticular word.

Second

The word "play" once you hear that word you assciate it with a outdoor activity, coaches, players, fans, teams, or just incient little kids playing on a playground.  You relate it to sports that you used to play yourself or still play.   Same rule applies for this as well we brake down the word within our head and like a puzzzle we piece together the meaning and the things that relate to that word which give us a set idea of that word.
