The macro-event framed by a state change event consists of a co-event (any
process or activity that determines the dynamics of the macro-event and causes a
change in some of its property) and a framing event “state change”, which
announces the result or final stage of the dynamics of the macro-event.
The analysis of linguistic expressions suggests that the schema of the macro-event
is that of the motion event: “Path” or “Path қ Ground”. Within the structure of the
macro-event, state change as a framing event is more abstract than a co-event and
often involves change in an individual’s cognitive state. For example, state changes
may include “to become awake / aware / familiar / in possession / existent /
nonexistent / dead etc. The co-event is concrete and physical (compare the verb
predicates in the examples below). The most prevalent type of relation between a
co-event and framing event are the same as with the case of motion (Manner and
Cause).

The macro-event framed by an action correlating event consists of a particular
activity performed by some agency (a co-event) which is associated with another
activity performed by a different agency (a framing event). The framing event (the
second activity) is either comparable to or complementary to the co-event (the first
activity). The support relation between the co-event and the framing event is that
of Constitutiveness, e. g.:
1. I met John (it means, that John is also engaged in the action of meeting
me).
2. I ate with Jane.
3. I threw the ball to John.
4. I ran after Jane.
There are 3 types of action correlating, schematizing the macro-event in
English: concert, accompaniment, surpassment.
