Static electricity: balloons, hair and sparks, sentence 0

Everything is made of tiny bits that carry electric charge, and rubbing two things together can move some of the tiniest, called electrons, from one onto the other.

Who acts: tiny bits, rubbing · What happens: make, carry, rub, move, call · To what, where: Everything, electric charge, two things, some, other, tiniest electrons · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Static electricity: balloons, hair and sparks» 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 (tiny bits, rubbing), 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.
