Stars: what they are, sentence 2

A star's colour tells its temperature, just like a piece of metal in a fire that glows dull red, then yellow, then white as it gets hotter: red stars are coolest and blue-white stars hottest.

Who acts: colour, piece, star, red stars · What happens: tell, glow, get, be · To what, where: temperature · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Stars: what they are» 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 (colour, piece, star, red stars), 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): R5-strong ×2, 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.
