Who acts: wine glass, you, finger, more water, glass · What happens: sing, rub, stick, slip, make, wobble · To what, where: rim, note
This is a sentence of the lesson «Swings and pendulums» of the physics 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 (wine glass, you, finger, more water), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
