Recycling: giving materials a second life, sentence 13

Batteries go in special collection boxes, never ordinary bins: they contain metals that harm nature if they leak and can be recovered, and batteries in bins can start fires in rubbish trucks.

Who acts: Batteries, metals · What happens: go, contain, harm, leak, recover, start · To what, where: special collection boxes, metals, nature, fires, rubbish trucks

This is a sentence of the lesson «Recycling: giving materials a second life» 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 (Batteries, metals), 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): R2-punct-next ×1, 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.
