Materials and their properties, sentence 5

Some solids dissolve in water: sugar and salt break up into particles too small to see and spread through the water, making a solution.

Who acts: solids, sugar · What happens: dissolve, break up, see, spread, make · To what, where: water, particles, solution

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 (solids, sugar), 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): R1-cc-next ×1, R7-rel-agree ×2, R8-pos-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.
