CHEAP-J NOTES: Roleset based on instances in BOLT P01, parts 2,3. Framed by Claire. Based on verb frame, cheapen.01, but is only grammatical with arg1: thing that is cheap, cheapened, and the adjective can talk about prices of things being cheap, so this has an added arg3 for price itself. (from cheap.01-j)
