Seasons and tides, sentence 0
The Earth is tilted, so as it travels round the Sun each year, first one half and then the other leans towards the Sun; the half that leans in gets high, direct sunshine and long days, and that is summer.
Who acts: Earth, first one half, half, that · What happens: tilt, travel, lean, lean in, get, be · To what, where: Earth, Sun, high direct sunshine, summer
This is a sentence of the lesson «Seasons and tides» 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 (Earth, first one half, half, that), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
