The human body deeper: the brain and nerves, sentence 0
Your brain is a soft, wrinkly organ about 1.4 kilograms in an adult, made of about 86 billion nerve cells, each linked to thousands of others; together they make more connections than there are stars in our galaxy.
Who acts: brain, billion nerve cells, others, stars · What happens: be, make, link · To what, where: soft wrinkly organ, each, more connections
This is a sentence of the lesson «The human body deeper: the brain and nerves» 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 (brain, billion nerve cells, others, stars), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
