This analysis is based on the first 35 search results for :prep-in. (I looked over more than that to get an idea of the patterns that occur frequently, but didn't have the time to quantify/categorize a larger sample.)
Circumstance
3 (9%) of the examples in the sample express circumstances/situations in which an event could occur, with phrases like:
"in carefully selected situations" [10]
"in this situation" [25]
"in the other case" [26].
These could be covered with a new non-core role, :circumstance (I was surprised this role didn't already exist). They could also be treated as a type of :condition, similar to the guideline for "in case of".
Domain
Around 8 (23%) of cases could be seen as referring to a topic/area in which something is true or occurs. Examples include:
we will fall farther behind in almost every aspect [11]
In golf...you gotta call fouls on yourself [13]
I am fairly competititive in spirit [14]
It's causing alot of anger and distress in my life [23]
positive in terms of species propagation [34]
This is a tricky category to define but I think these could be treated as a type of :domain. In the case of [34], I would suggest abstracting away from the 'in terms of" phrase in favor of:
At least 2 (6%) could use the existing :subevent-of role:
Workers ... mechanically mixed the dry fibers in a process used to make filters [1]
The Conservatives would of had a 21 seat majority in the last general election [33]
Interest/Stake
3 (9%) of cases express the same specific meaning:
holds a 83.4 % interest in this energy - services company [3]
company with interests in the mechanical engineering industry [4]
holder of a 9.5 % stake in the company [6]
These warrant a frame like hold-interest-in.
Multi-word expressions
Specific phrases that could either be given specific hyphenated concepts or standard paraphrases include:
in addition [8] --perhaps :mod additional, as is sometimes used for "additionally"
in effect [9]
[done] in [someone's] name [17]
in the first place [18]
in their right mind [28] --mod?
have faith in [31] -- have-faith-in could be a new frame, or it could be paraphrased into "believe in"
These 6 examples collectively make up 17% of the sample.
Miscellaneous easier cases
17%
his role in the scheme [7]--use scheme-01 frame
floats in the sun [16]--location
he already had the presidency in hand [19]--either location, or hyphenate in-hand
a full-time sixth former at a high pressure private school [21]--use :mod
we were always together in the same group of friends [24]--use have-org-role-91
what I have watched in this video [29]--use :medium
Miscellaneous harder cases
17%
stopped using crocidolite in its Micronite cigarette filters [1]
in the aggregate [5] -- somewhat similar to the MWE cases like in addition and in effect, but probably not common enough to warrant much special treatment. maybe :mod aggregate?
I'm still in politics detox mode [20]
What would be the point in arguing with her? [27]
if they loose their foothold in English politics [32] -- domain??
