Check the claim, not the person, sentence 0

A claim is true or false all by itself: two plus two is four whether a professor says it, a six-year-old says it, or your most annoying cousin says it.

Who acts: claim, professor, year old, annoying cousin · What happens: be, say · To what, where: four, claim · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Check the claim, not the person» 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 (claim, professor, year old, annoying cousin), 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.
