Mixing and dissolving, sentence 3

Not everything dissolves: sand just sinks, and a glass of water can only hold so much salt before the rest settles at the bottom.

Who acts: everything, sand, glass, rest · What happens: not dissolve, sink, hold, settle · To what, where: much salt, bottom

This is a sentence of the lesson «Mixing and dissolving» 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 (everything, sand, glass, rest), 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.
