DEVASTATE-V NOTES: Frames file for 'devastate' based on automatic expansion of 'destroy' Levin class (cl 44) and amuse-31.1 (emotional devastation). Verbnet predicts an instrumental subject. They also bring thedistinction between agent and instrument down to intentionality, whichwe've been trying to avoid. If you feel you can consistently makethat decision, go ahead; otherwise only use arg2 when there is also anarg0. (from devastate.01-v)
DEVASTATION-N NOTES: Added by Julia based on BOLT, devastate.01. Corresponds to VNcls destroy-44, amuse-31.1 (from devastation.01-n)
