Building words: prefixes, suffixes and compounds, sentence 5
A root is the main part of a word, a prefix is added to the start and a suffix to the end: "un" + "happy" + "ness" makes "unhappiness".
Who acts: root, un · What happens: be, add, make · To what, where: main part, prefix, ness
This is a sentence of the lesson «Building words: prefixes, suffixes and compounds» of the language 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 (root, un), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

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.
