Roles:

        This frame has an issue in that it can have both a theme and a predicate: "Mary believed John that he didn't eat the last piece of pie". The problem is that we've been annotating both themes and predicates as arg1, so simply making either theme or predicate arg2 will conflict with past annotation. We could add an arg2, predicate, and use it only when arg1 is already present, but that makes me sad, so let's just not mess with it until we actually see such an instance.
        Arg0: believer (vnrole: 29.9-2-agent, 31.2-experiencer, 29.5-1-agent)
        Arg1: believed (vnrole: 29.9-2-theme, 31.2-theme, 29.5-1-theme)

Example: nominal complement

        Cathryn Rice could hardly believe her eyes.

        Arg0: Cathryn Rice
        Argm-mod: could
        Argm-adv: hardly
        Rel: believe
        Arg1: her eyes

Example: prepositional complement

        I believe in the system.

        Arg0: I
        Rel: believe
        Arg1: in the system

Example: sentential complement

        You believe that Seymour Cray can do it again.

        Arg0: You
        Rel: believe
        Arg1: that Seymour Cray can do it again

Example: sentential complement with passive extraction

        The declaration by Economy Minister Nestor Rapanelli is believed
        *trace* to be the first time such an action has been called for.

        Rel: believed
        Arg1: *trace* to be the first time such an action has been called for
