Recycling: giving materials a second life, sentence 16

The order is reduce first, reuse second and recycle third, because recycling still uses energy; a reusable bottle can replace hundreds of throwaway ones.

Who acts: order, recycling, reusable bottle · What happens: be, reuse, recycle, use, replace · To what, where: energy, hundreds

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 (order, recycling, reusable bottle), 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, R8-pos-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.
