Maps, plans and the compass, sentence 2
The scale tells how much smaller the map is: if 1 centimetre on the map stands for 100 metres on the ground, then 3 centimetres on the map mean 300 metres of real walking.
Who acts: scale, map, 1 centimetre, 3 centimetres · What happens: tell, be, stand, mean · To what, where: 300 metres · Speech: someone speaks here
This is a sentence of the lesson «Maps, plans and the compass» 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 (scale, map, 1 centimetre, 3 centimetres), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
