The microscopic world: cells, the building blocks of life, sentence 4

Cartoons sometimes show cells as little people with faces and jobs; real cells have no faces or brains, but each kind really does have its own job, like carrying oxygen, sensing light or making a muscle move.

Who acts: Cartoons, real cells, kind · What happens: show, have, carry, sense, make, job · To what, where: cells, faces, own job, oxygen, light, muscle move

This is a sentence of the lesson «The microscopic world: cells, the building blocks of life» 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 (Cartoons, real cells, kind), 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): R3-conj-first ×1, R7-rel-agree ×4. 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.
