Elements and the famous members of the periodic table, sentence 14
Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature; it is poisonous, so a broken mercury thermometer is a job for a grown-up; in very hard frost, below about minus 39 degrees, it freezes into a solid metal.
Who acts: Mercury, only metal, Helium, broken mercury thermometer · What happens: be, break, grow up, freeze · To what, where: only metal, room temperature, job, grown hard frost
This is a sentence of the lesson «Elements and the famous members of the periodic table» of the chemistry 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 (Mercury, only metal, Helium, broken mercury thermometer), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
