This paper deals with the theory of Frame Semantics, a concept developed by the American linguist Charles J. Fillmore. The basic assumption of frame semantics is that in order to understand a word properly, its "frame," i.e. all the knowledge relating to this word is necessary. I will use this theoretical framework to explore the question to what extent the problems of the so-called dictionary view can be solved by Frame Semantics.
