What sound is: wobbles in the air, sentence 1
The wobbling thing shoves the air next to it, that air shoves the next bit, and the wobble travels outwards until it reaches your ear, a bit like a push passed along a queue.
Who acts: wobbling thing, air, wobble · What happens: shove, travel, reach, pass · To what, where: air, next bit, ear, push, queue
This is a sentence of the lesson «What sound is: wobbles in the air» 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 (wobbling thing, air, wobble), 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.
