The vet, sentence 1

So a vet looks, listens and measures: the stethoscope tells about the heart and lungs, the thermometer about fever, the scales about weight, and an X-ray shows what is inside, like the sock a greedy dog swallowed.

Who acts: vet, stethoscope, X ray, greedy dog · What happens: look, listen, measure, tell, show, be · To what, where: sock · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «The vet» 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 (vet, stethoscope, X ray, greedy dog), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×1, R7-rel-agree ×2. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
