This article presents the results of the propositional frame analysis of the situations of acts of the group «prodelka» (prank) in the Russian language (prank, stunt, trick, etc.). The aim of the paper is to show that the acts «prank», «stunt», «antic», etc., due to the similar structure of their frames, characteristics of their slots, shared prototypical attributes, can be viewed as the members of one category in the Russian language. It is concluded that in different situations various elements of the invariable frame can be in the focus of attention. The research shows that the frame of the act is a multidimensional category, which reflects the world and relations between its elements.
