Who acts: Fish, movement, bird, line · What happens: notice, mean, hunt, feel, call · To what, where: movement, movements, water, lateral line · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «The fish tank: water, gills, heaters and the right neighbours» of the biology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Fish, movement, bird, line), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
