Near the coast the water gets shallow, the wave slows down and piles up, sometimes over 10 metres high, and floods far inland like the whole sea climbing onto the land.

Who acts: water, wave, whole sea · What happens: get, slow down, pile up, flood, climbing · To what, where: coast, land

This is a sentence of the lesson «Tsunamis» of the geography 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 (water, wave, whole sea), 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): no change. 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.
