Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter I. Down the Rabbit-Hole, sentence 25
The Antipathies, I think—” (she was rather glad there _was_ no one listening, this time, as it didn’t sound at all the right word) “—but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know.
Who acts: Antipathies, Alice, Longitude, I, name, you · What happens: think, be, not sound, have, ask, know · To what, where: one listening, right word, Antipathies, country · Speech: someone speaks here
This is a sentence of «Alice's Adventures in Wonderland» by Lewis Carroll, Chapter I. Down the Rabbit-Hole. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Antipathies, Alice, Longitude, I), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
