You are right for "subframe", but not for "condition", which is defined 
for LexicalSense as domain.

OK, thanks for noticing. I have now changed this consistently to "behavior"

Yes indeed, thanks. Someone had removed this already, not me ;-)

I added the following sentence below example 3:

The above example clearly shows how syntactic and semantic arguments are 
bound in ontolex, that is by instantiating the syntactic and 
corresponding semantic argument with the same individual. This is mainly 
done for reasons of economy. Essentially, by this we avoid having to 
introduce a dedicated SynsemCorrespondence class as used in LMF to 
implement this binding.

No not really, as the giving_event is not realized syntactically...

I added the following sentence:

Note that in the above example the property synsem:isA property is used 
to mark the single argument/variable of the class of all the things that 
have female gender. The copulative subject in an expression such as 
"Mary is female" is bound to this single semantic argument. The 
semantics is thus in essence the characteristic function that for each 
element x decides if x is in the set denoted by the class.

Does this help?

In principle yes, but we use the property "father" in example 4. For the 
sake of consistency I would stick to inverse father.

Sure, any concrete proposal?

Good idea. I will think about it. Thanks
