The Moon, sentence 1

It spins exactly once each time it goes round us, like a dancer who keeps facing her partner, so we always see the same face.

Who acts: Moon, dancer, we · What happens: spin, go, keep, face, see · To what, where: partner, same face

This is a sentence of the lesson «The Moon» 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 (Moon, dancer, we), 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, R5-strong ×3, 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.
