Poetry: simile, metaphor, personification, alliteration, sentence 3

Alliteration repeats the first sound of words close together, like "slithering snakes slide silently", where the hissing s even sounds like the snake; onomatopoeia is different: a word that sounds like what it means, such as buzz, bang or splash.

Who acts: Alliteration, words, slithering snakes, hissing, onomatopoeia, word · What happens: repeat, close, slither, slide, sound, be · To what, where: first sound

This is a sentence of the lesson «Poetry: simile, metaphor, personification, alliteration» of the english 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 (Alliteration, words, slithering snakes, hissing), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

Licence: CC BY-SA 4.0, as the whole of Mova corpus 0.4, of which this treebank (the agreed school, mova-school-agreed-en.conllu) is part. The lessons were written for Mova's primary school. Sentence school:english:046-poetry-simile-metaphor-personification-alliteration.lesson:3.

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): R5-strong ×1, R6-punct-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.
