Rockets, record speeds and motion everywhere, sentence 12

The fastest humans run about 40 kilometres an hour at top speed; a horse runs faster, and a diving peregrine falcon is faster than a racing car.

Who acts: fastest humans, horse, diving peregrine falcon · What happens: run about, run, be · To what, where: 40 kilometres, top speed

This is a sentence of the lesson «Rockets, record speeds and motion everywhere» 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 (fastest humans, horse, diving peregrine falcon), 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): R3-conj-first ×1, R7-rel-agree ×1. 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.
