The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 33, sentence 81
The boy leapt for joy as he recognised the note of the owl of which the swallow had spoken, and he said softly in the bird's language:
Who acts: boy leapt, leapt · What happens: recognise, speak, say, note · To what, where: note, swallow, language, owl · Speech: someone speaks here
This is a sentence of «The Orange Fairy Book» by Andrew Lang, Opening, part 33. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (boy leapt, leapt), 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.
