- rdfs:comment "One type of accompaniment that may holds between objects which participate jointly in some process. This form of accompaniment states that the accompaniment is positive but replacing; i.e., that some object participated in a process or state as an alternative to some other. It may be expressed as a prepositional phrase beginning with the preposition `instead'. as in: {independent-argument} ... `with' {dependent-argument}. Note that it is not necessary for both of the participants to be aware of the participation. Thus both of the following sentences are examples of this relation: (1) John went for a walk with Joan instead of Mary. (2) John went for a walk with his blue shoes instead of his white ones."(xsd:string)
