Plastics: useful and stubborn, sentence 1

They feel different, but all are plastics, made of very long chain molecules called polymers, like thousands of paperclips clipped into one chain.

Who acts: bottle, all, long chain molecules · What happens: feel, be, make, call, clip · To what, where: plastics, polymers, thousands, one chain · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Plastics: useful and stubborn» 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 (bottle, all, long chain molecules), 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): R7-rel-agree ×1. 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.
