In the Sun's core, hydrogen nuclei are squeezed together to make helium, and this nuclear fusion releases the energy that makes the Sun shine.
Who acts: nuclear fusion, energy, Sun · What happens: squeeze, make, release, shine · To what, where: hydrogen nuclei, core, helium, energy
This is a sentence of the lesson «The Sun, our star» of the space 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 (nuclear fusion, energy, Sun), 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.
