How to check: who, how, who else, sentence 5

The first question is who says it; something heard from someone who heard it from someone else is called hearsay.

Who acts: first question, something · What happens: be, hear, call · To what, where: someone, grown, hearsay · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «How to check: who, how, who else» of the politics 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 (first question, something), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
