Materials and their properties, sentence 2

Heat moves easily through some materials, called conductors of heat, such as metals; it moves slowly through insulators, such as wood, plastic, wool, cork and air trapped in tiny pockets.

Who acts: Heat, materials · What happens: move, call, trap · To what, where: materials, conductors, insulators, air, tiny pockets · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Materials and their properties» of the world 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 (Heat, materials), 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 ×3. 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.
