How to use Epanalepsis Beginning End Frame Checker and understand its results
- Establish the language, clause boundaries, transcription basis, source context, or evidence annotations required by this particular tool.
- Enter clause, following the field table and calculation rules below, then run the tool.
- Read result. Inspect the nested fields in the output table below and keep any missing evidence or selected indices visible.
- Correct any input issues and run again. Before using a successful result, review its units, signs, evidence coverage, and stated model or reference assumptions.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| clause | Clause | string | Required |
Trim the clause and split on whitespace, preserving token case and punctuation. Require at least two tokens. Return its first token and whether that token exactly equals the last token.
frameMatches=(firstToken=lastToken) Read these symbols with the field meanings and branch or reference rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| result | Object containing the fields below | object |
| result.exactFrameToken | Exact Frame Token | string |
| result.frameMatches | Frame Matches | boolean |
{
"input": {
"clause": "home we return home"
},
"output": {
"result": {
"exactFrameToken": "home",
"frameMatches": true
}
}
}Limitations and assumptions
Clause boundaries, transcriptions, role labels, and contextual judgments are supplied evidence. The result describes this exact lexical or annotation operation, not inferred intent, historical origin, persuasive effect, or argument soundness.
Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types, and violated calculation rules return input issues. Extremely large composite outputs are rejected.
Alternative or Complementary methods
For a related task, use Symploce Beginning End Combo Checker: Symploce combines repeated beginnings and endings across clauses. Exact first-and-last token matching provides a bounded lexical screen rather than a semantic analysis of an entire repeated phrase. For a complementary step, use Anadiplosis Chain Last First Link Validator: Anadiplosis links the end of one clause with the beginning of the next. Exact boundary matching can document that form without inferring rhetorical intention.
