Notice the fact that each word is typed as Noun, Pronoun, Adjective or Verbform and that, except for the prepositions, all other words are eliminated: adverbs, determiners, quantifiers. What is left is really the bare bone structure of the text. The goal is to get rid of embellishments and variations which add no value for retrieval purposes.
The types may be used in further processing of the frames, or they may be removed by some postprocessing.
A demo version of the parser/transducer is available at the website of the [AGFL project]; trying it out may help in understanding the HM frame representation.
