The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 12, sentence 91

“Oh, if you’re trying to back out, of course I’ve no more to say,” said the young seal with an ugly chuckle.

Who acts: young seal · What happens: try, back out, have, say · To what, where: more · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «The Jungle Book» by Rudyard Kipling, The Jungle Book, part 12. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (young seal), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

Parsed by Mova, not checked by a teacher. This tree is Mova's own parse (the en model, on the CPU, when the site is built); it may be wrong.
